radiator

I`m on the process to chase some wall to hide radiator pipe. taking as sample a 600x1200mm radiator and I believe setting it out at 150mm height from floor. How far the pipe will be from the radiator considering valve width ect etc? is there any standard measure for it? Many Thanks

Hi all I’m hoping somebody can help? We have a towel radiator in the bathroom (pictured) which is leaking from the top right valve. Obviously with current COVID restrictions we thought we would have a go ourselves. Can you please advise the steps we would need to take ie what do we need to turn...

Hi All. I have recently had an extension done and we have UFH on just the new extension, and radiators upstairs etc, in the house we have a nest thermostat and a heatmiser stat for the UFH area. The issue I am having right now is that the nest is the only control for heating the radiators and...

Hello I need to replace a radiator on plasterboard that has been fixed to a block wall using dot & dab. I presume its not a good idea to fix the radiator to just the plasterboard, using something like spring toggles, in case the dot & dab comes loose. So was planning to drill through into the...

I’m having trouble removing a pretty old trv (picture attached). It just turns continuously making me think something’s broken underneath. Can I just snap it off?!

We have a Bathroom Radiator Towel Rail that gets scalding hot, but cannot see the best way to turn it down? There are two twisty knobs either side at the bottom, and worked out that the left hand one, (clockwise) seems to turn off the water going to the radiator, as the noise stops, but even...

Hello, My Vailliant boiler was showing F.27 (incorrect sensing of flames). I opened the panel and replaced the 2A fuse. After that the boiler stopped responding. Status code now is S.O (Heating issue, no heat demand). Does not respond to opening hot water tap or turning on the radiator...

Hello One radiator in my house is always hot even when the TRV is turned to 0. If you turn it to 5 it is boiling. When the central heating is off then this radiator is cold. The rest of the radiators works as expected, i.e. if you turn the TRV to 0 it becomes cold. I've taken the TRV off and...

Hi, I'm trying to isolate my radiator in order to change a leaking bleed valve. The lockshield valve on the radiator is just spinning and spinning and not shutting off the water. In the photo below, it's the spindle that I have been trying to turn. Is there anything I can do other than...

Hi all. I am wanting to swap out some old radiator valves for some new TRV ones. I currently have the radiator off the wall, and the current valves closed off. I just want to run through the steps that I need to take in order to be able to remove the old valves, put on the new ones, and hook...

Regarding: Clean sealed central heating system, powerflushed and inhibitor added a few years ago and system water still remains clear as tap water. Question: After cleanly installing a few brand new radiators with no flux, in reality is cleaner really required before fully flushing the system...

Hello, We are renovating a lower ground flat in a Victorian mansion block (but inside was completely rebuilt in 1989). In the open plan kitchen/dining/living space my architect has suggested putting down foil, then a layer of wet UFH, Omnie Lowboard 15 straight on top of the concrete slab...

Hi all, I wondered if anyone can help me. I recently bought a house which has a radiator in the conservatory. It's an old style conservatory so the temperature drops quickly. I have sectioned off the kitchen (as doors were removed) using a heavy curtain. The kitchen now retains heat...

Hi all I'm looking to upgrade some regular old radiators ( 7 in total). The replacements are larger modern radiators. Two would be approximately 1600mm long by 600mm wide to hang on the wall. I've attached an image of old white radiator style and new radiator style (Grey) to give you idea of...

I've got a problem towel rail in the house and I've been scratching my head what the problem might be. The towel rail only gets luke warm at best and there are no colder or warmer patches on the rail itself. All of the other radiators in the house are roasting. I've checked for an air lock by...

Moved into a flat with a Powermax 155x boiler. Have the hot water on at set times and the central heating off. The radiators are getting warm (not boiling hot) still when the hot water is on only. Just wondering why this would be, and also is this costing us more money as we are...
