Hi all any advice appreciated I fitted two radiators both with trv,s rad not getting hot after investigating I have found one trv is on the flow on one rad but on the return on the other rad question is would this stop rads from getting hot thanks in advance

Is there an arrow on the side of the valve? Could be either side. If so needs to be facing the direction of the flow.

If it worked okay before. Make sure valves are fully open, turn heating on and turn off the radiators that are Working. You should hear a gurgle and then they should work.
If they didn't work before. Possible blockage.

Both were new rads when fitted had to extend pipe work to fit extra rad so most of pie work is new I have taken both trv heads of and one rad is getting hot now one pipe is hot one is cold on both rads as if it's not returning
 
Have you fully opened the lockshield valves? What are the TRVs set on?
 
Lock shields are both fully open trv s are bout fully open now taken heads of trv s and one rad is getting hot
 
Which rad is getting hot?

Presumably the original one, not the new one?
 
Is there an arrow on the side of the valve? Could be either side. If so needs to be facing the direction of the flow.

??

And again .....????

I am waiting for you to answer this one as well!

Does the radiator have a service valve fitted to the flow at any point on the flow pipework into the cold rad?

If so, make sure the arrow 'is facing the direction of the flow'.
 
Sorry been busy yes the original is getting hot though this one was also replaced at the same Time this one has drain valve on it thanks
