cold radiator
Hi All
Some help plz. Just installed 2 radiators in the kitchen, replacing the 2 old ones. One was a simple changeover and the other required new pipe work , but all pretty simple. I took care to match the inlet/outlet with the new radiators. House is 14 years old and water more clean than dirty. Powered up the heating and whilst there is water in the radiators, it's stone cold. Even the pipes are cold. All the other rads are hot (except one in the lounge which has hot pipes but cold rad). The previous rads worked v. well but now its cold. I replaced lockshield for lockshield and put turn valves on the right pipe. Any idea's or checks I should be doing. I even tried the pump on high speed. Actually took out the air vent for hot water to slowly (very slowly) start to seep through. Once the vent was closed it cooled down again. Pipe work was mainly couplers with solder inside + 1 compression fitting. Any help appreciated. Matt |
