TRV`s on radiators

[Jclegg7297]

Hi, I`m after a bit of advice. If a TRV has been fitted to the return side of the radiator. Would it restrict the performance of the radiator? The valve is fully open & its the last radiator on the system. The other four are all hot, but this one never gets above luke warm. The TRV is delinitely on the return line. Thanks

won't restrict the performance.

is the system balanced properly ?
is the pin in the trv free moving ?
is the trv bi-directional ?
is the flow pipe hot ?

Hi, I will check the balancing. The trv has a directional arrow on it. Also it appears to operate ok turning it down. The flow pipe is hot, but the return is warm like the radiator. Thanks
