Cold Radiator

[frales]

Hi

I started to build an extension in 2007 and ended up sacking the cowboys who were parading as builders. I am now getting to completion of all the internals and find that one radiator of three that they fitted is cold. I know the radiator is attached to the system because when I open the bleed screw cold water comes out. It is as if the central heating hot water is being pumped round the system, putting pressure on this radiator but never actually entering this part of the circuit.

Any ideas?

have you tried closing the lockshield valves on the other rads to balance it out a bit. If you reduce the flow to others rads it would allow more flow for this one?

Not an expert just my two pence worth!!!

dont close them too much though try it 1/4 or 1/2 a turn at a time.

Balancing may be your baby.
