Hi everyone, this is my first post and I need help
I fitted 2 towel rails for my customer, one in the bathroom and the other in an en-suite.
Better let you know at this point that I'm not a plumber but have fitted / moved many radiators.
The original rads stopped working several months ago.
The 1st thing I did was to add some sludge remover to the tank in the loft for a couple of weeks. Drained the system down, took off the rads and flushed through the pipes; 1 at a time.
The pipes were full of metal flakes and very black. I waited till water ran clear before fitting new towel rails.
Filled system, bled air and then fired it up. But still no heat to towel rails.
Isolated all other rads on system and pulled some water out of top of towel rail via hose pipe on a check valve to pull out any air locks.
The hot water comes through but when left to run normally there is still no heat.
The thing is that these are the only two rads that dont get hot. All over rads around the house are very hot and controlled by trv's.
The hot water is on an ermersion tank.
Sooooooooo sorry for the long post but I wanted to make everything clear.
What can I do next?
