Greetings,
I have just installed a Vertirad from B&Q. Looks fine, was cheap, but when I installed as shown in the pics on the website - both taps at the bottom, the bottom pipe becomes toast hot, the panels above warm for a few inches, then further up it's cold. Seems pretty obvious what's happening.
I naively thought there would be blocks along the top and bottom pipes to make the water zag its way through the rad. If there are none, then it can only really work if the water comes in the bottom and goes out the top. In this installation it would be fine to do that, but is that really the way to go?
Any help really appreciated. Oh yes, it's been well vented (venting was the only time it was all hot, when it initially filled with hot water). I have made a search through the forums here, some have certain panels hot but I have none.
Ta,
Phil
