Loud Radiator

[Jakevandogh]

I recently replaced the old bedroom radiator with new designer column one. It was moved under the window as the old one was near the entrance and 8mm pipes which were fitting it were converted half way to 15mm copper and then 15mm pex. Radiator works fine, but I can hear a loud water noises - which is probably air trapped in the system, but the sound is constant likes the water is dripping down from it. New radiator had no markings apart from the small label at the bottom saying "divertor here" and I fitted it with the label facing me (seemed logical).

Could it be only a case of balancing them out? I haven't tried that yet, but could it be something else?

I will apreciate any advice. Thank you.

Should the 'divertor here' indicate the inlet (flow) side?

if the lockshield is only just open I find that can make quite a bit of noise

Turn every other rad off and just leave that rad on for several hours that should help clear it. . It is not unusual for these designer rads to trap air for weeks
