I have recently fitted a new radiator in my hallway but it will not heat up. I have micro bore pipework which is a twin entry job. The inlet and outlet pipes are red hot right up until the entry to the radiator, but the radiator remains stone cold. All the other radiators are hot. Does this mean i will have to fit a separate outlet on the other end of the radiator. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Did you refit the small diameter of tube about 3/4 the length of the rad to the twin entry valve again?
Can't remember the name given to this right now
Hi there, and thanks for your reply.
I through that piece of tubing away as it would not fit into the new radiator. I guess I will have to get it re-piped so that it is a single entry and return? Is this easy to do yourself or would you recommend calling in the gas man? How much would it cost?
Oh
Gas man...... Nahh ya don't want one O' them ....... Gettcha self down the plumbers merchants, "Ca've some toobe N' some joiny bits please"
