Hi
I have recently clear out our spare room and turned on the radiator . The radiator is about 2 and half years old , never teally used as is the trv and lockshield.
I have noticed that the rad is not getting very warm. I have put the trv on 5 and still its only getting lukewarm. I checked that the lockshield was open and it was and i’ve also opened it fully and still no joy. I have bled the radiator and still no real inprovement . I have taken off the the trv checked that the pin is miving up and down and it is . The pipe to the trv is warmish but coldish to the lockshield. The rad just wont get hot. All other rads in thehouse are fine
Can anyone help?
Also as a note i am a bit confused about the Lockshield that i have .. see photos i have attached as i am not sure this is a lockshield or just a manual trv. Its a wheel type. I read up that older rads may have these but this is not that old at all. I can’t seem to unscrew the wheel to take if the head.
Any help appreciated
