Hi guys,
I've searched and searched and I can't find an answer to my specific problem. We decorated a room for our little girl to move into, and the Wife wanted the radiator moving from one wall to another. It was initially a regular double panel radiator, which was mounted on a wall with the pipes coming through the wall into the eaves, as the room is in the roofspace. It had a long "loop" of pipe which serviced it, which I cut short and ran pipes from it under the floor, to the other side of the room. We now have a column style radiator installed, with a TRV on one side.
Now here's the problem, the radiator doesn't get hot, at all, it barely increases in temperature. The pipe leading up to the TRV gets nice and hot though. I've took the head off the TRV and checked the pin moves up and down freely, which it does. I've turned off all other radiators, and the same still happens to this rad.
Everything is brand new; the radiator, valves, pipes, the lot.
Here's a rather crude drawing, including the hatched out previous installation, and overall plan of the room with new rad positioning:
Please help, my little girl is cold
Many thanks,
Carl...
