i have fitted 2 new radiators,each one has a trv on one end and a shut off valve on the other.neither rad is heating up. should i have fitted lockshield valves? what is the difference between lockshield valves and shut off valves?. all the existing rads are working ok.

found the problem, my 'helper' had closed the lockshield valve on the rad nearest the pump. as soon as i opened it, the two rads heated up!
if both rads go off with only 1 valve shut i think u may hav a little design fault. no need to have 2 trv;s in that case,
Babs is right, you may have cocked up a wee bit therenow im lost....what do you mean?
