Intersting problem here. One radiator in my living room is cold the rest of the house is fine.
Both valves are open and tried balancing and bleeding whole house.
The inlet pipe (right side) coming up from floor is warm up to where it connects to the radiator and the outlet pipe going back into the floor is cold.
I have taken off the radiator and flushed through with a hose and noticed that if I turn the tap on for the inlet valve, hot water flows through indicating there is not a blockage. I have alos opened the outlet valve and water flow through indicating no blockage.
Now here is the interesting bit, when I put the radiator on, and open the taps and bleed the radiator, the radiator gets hot and both pipes coming from the floor are hot then the radiator gets cold again after I have bled it.
My theory is the outlet valve thermostatic (left side of rad) (dont know make) is on the wrong way around and I need to buy one that allow water to flow out.
Any opinions before I start on taking off the valve and putting on a new one.
Second, how do i stop the awful banging , ticking clicking noise coming from my upstairs rad, pipe. Tried bleeding!???
Thanks guys
Also are triton showers really that bad? I was planning to get a 9.5kw one???
