I moved into my house 3 years ago, the radiator in the under stairs cupboard has never worked.
Finally just got round to looking into it, turns out the return 10mm plastic pipe is blocked solid.
I’ve pulled carpets up to find out where it’s fed from. It’s T’d off 15mm feed and return copper to 10mm plastic from under the floorboards in the landing that then goes down behind the plaster board to the downstairs rad.
I’ve had my compressor on it up to near 100psi and it slowly leaks pressure through the blockage until it’s at 0psi again, nothing moves I’m starting to think it might be kinked somewhere?
Anyone got any other suggestions ? Will this radiator ever work with this awful 10mm plastic pipe with T off
Cheers
