radiator

I am buying a flat at the moment and all the radiators have just one inlet where the 2 pipes enter. Is this a twin entry valve? Ideally I would like to renew the radiators so would like to know if I can swap them for new radiators and re route the pipes to either side with standard inlet and...

Hello, we have a radiator in our living room and would like to add a second. The photo shows the piping going into and coming out of the radiator. From feeling the order that the pipes heat up I think I’ve figured out the direction of flow which I’ve marked with red arrows. Would this pipe...

I'm looking at replacing a normal rad with a towel radiator. The pipes (15mm copper) come horizontally out of the wall and are 580mm apart (centre to centre). Putting in 500mm towel radiator (450mm to 470mm pipe separation) looks easy (90 degree elbow horizontal to angled rad valve). One i...

I'm looking to add a radiator to my living room. I've included below a plan of the living room showing the existing pipework (solid lines) and proposed new pipework (dotted lines) which all run under the floorboards. Boiler is more than capable of coping with this new radiator. Question is...

In the linked photos you can see two radiators, one with a static valve and the other a TRV (with head removed). I need to swap the two valves. The third photo is the lock shield at the bottom of each rad. What are the correct steps to swap these two joints without hopefully having to flush an...

How to plumb a heated towel rail to these pipes?

I'm planning on relocating the pipes for radiators 1 & 2 to make way for a steel beam. Radiators 1 & 2 will branch off the main flow and return between radiators 3 & 4. I noticed the flow & return leave the boiler in 22mm copper and steps down to 15mm copper before the first radiator, this then...

Hi All, I appreciate there are numerous similar posts but I'm look for clarification to judge whether I should try to replace radiator or have a plumber come out. I have an Ideal Logic Heat 12 boiler and Tribune HE cylinder, circuit for hot water and 2 circuits for heating as I understand it...

Hi, I’ve ordered a new radiator and the lower connections where the pipes would normally connect are sealed up in a way that looks welded. The product photo online clearly shows the radiator connected to pipes at the bottom but I can’t see how this radiator could be used without being connected...

Good afternoon all, I am soon to have a new combi boiler fitted to provide central heating and hot water (currently just have an old hot water boiler). I am in the process of fitting my central heating system pipe work, and I am hoping for some advice. I have drawn up a picture below of what...

Hi all, recently replaced all of our normal trvs to smart trvs, except one radiator to allow it to always flow if the others shut off. I am experiencing an issue on all radiators when one of the TRVs hits temp and closes the valve, there is a tapping noise on the exit pipe of that specific...

I took a couple of radiators off last week to redecorate. One has gone back on fine but the other I am having trouble with on the non-thermostat side. I'm not sure if the radiator has just been rehung at a very slight angle and the pipe is coming at it at not quite 90 degrees or if, as it seems...

Hello, I recently bought a flat and am currently very early into my DIY journey, so apologies in advance for my limited understanding. I noticed one of the radiators does not heat up, so I had a look online for common issues and decided to see if the pin in the TRV valve was stuck. Got myself...

Hi everybody, I want to hang a fairly heavy (45kg) radiator onto my new build house wall. The wall is the grey thermal blocks covered with dot and dab plasterboard and I think its about 40mm of dot/dab before you hit the blocks behind. Obvs with water the radiator will be a bit heavier as...

Hi all, We found out a red little puddle under the radiator and I found the source. The radiator has been bleed so no air in it. 09 is a picture from the bottom of the radiator,14 is where the leak is coming from, the top of the radiator and 30 is to give a little bit more of context where it's...

My ensuite bathroom has 2 external double brick walls and a large window. Naturally, in the winter, it's the coldest room in the flat by around 5 degrees, and very humid. It's also the only room with a single radiator, everywhere else it's a double. I can manage the heating of the entire flat...

Hi, apologies if this is a daft question, but the valve on one of my radiators doesn't seem to be working. The dial turns fine, but turning it doesn't turn the temperature of the radiator down. I've tested it by touching the radiator, then turning the dial and waiting an hour before touching...

My Vailliant boiler (EcoTEC plus 937) which has a nest thermostat attached id not turning off the central heating!? We have turned off the Nest thermostat but the boiler continues to heat the radiators?

Moved into a house in April. Removed a radiator in bedroom when renovating. The plumber capped the pipes. After that our builder filled the whole in the ground with cement and then new wooden floors were laid. A month later (when the radiators were off) the remaining radiator with making a small...

Our house has a heating system identical to the one pictured. System boiler with unvented HW cylinder, upstairs radiators (12 of them) and about 100 square meters of UFH. All separated by individual 2 port valves. We've recently been renovating the far end of the house (and far end of the...
