Hi, I have fitted an upright (tall narrow) 'tubes' radiator in my conservatory, and have taken the feed from an existing radiator directly behind it in the kitchen. The problem I have is that the 'in' and 'out' pipes to the new radiator are hot, and the section that runs across the bottom of the radiaiator is also hot (up to about 2-3" high) but the rest of the radiator is not. I have fitted a new more powerful pump, but this has made no difference.

Any ideas?

Thanks Pete

And what came out ?

well, I had one of these, thought I'd bled the air, but then I had to take it off the wall to change the valves over and what a surprise. There was hardly any water in it. All the horizontal tubes had kept their air., so next time, I tilted it before I put it on the wall, and filled it from the top , taking out the bleed fitting.
