Hi all,
You have been incredibly helpful in the past and therefore I am hoping you can help me again!
I have a radiator problem.
Since moving in, the radiator upstaris in the spare bedroom has never been able to get hot. This was installed by the previous owner.
All other radiators in the house get hot easily, within minutes of the heating being requested.
On the flow side of the radiator, we have the TRV, the pipe work gets hot (very hot).
The Lockshield on the return is open. I've tried restricting, through to fully open. The radiator gets slightly "warm" but not hot.
I've tried slight adjustment on the lockshields on the other radiators, but no avaiil.
I have tried closing the TRV and bleeding the radiator, water flows. I've tried closing the lockshield, leaving TRV open, bleeding and water flows.
The lockshield and the pipe on that side never gets warm, so I am suspecting a faulty lockshield.
Any thoughts? Do you think its the lockshield also? Is there a way to prove/test this?
With thanks
Doobs!
