heating and pluming advice needed lol

[lee_capri]

her in door's talked me in to buying one of those fancy chrome rad's for the bath room,after it sitting in the box for 3 month's,i fit it last night ,well it work's,but now the rad in the hall way dont work ,i have no air in the system,at first when i fitted the new rad that work and nun off the other's did,then it did'nt but the other's did,now the only one not working is the one in the hall way,which i can live with but you no what doris are like ,any ideas y this is

 

their's that old saying if it's not broke dont change it spring's to mind

[Daggle]

What boiler you got? I had problems with mine, had to get the pressure back up, might also need some of the rads balancing out? You know turn down some on ones that are working well, turn up the ones that aren't.

 

More then likely that the boiler is running low on pressure though, have you checked that?

[Posse]

He you got a combi boiler lee?

[lee_capri]

the presure is fine have checked it and toped up,

 

did'nt no that about turning the heat down on some would inprove the other's,but the hall way one is stone cold

[lee_capri]

He you got a combi boiler lee?

 

oh yes and what a pain in the a**e they are what i would'nt give for a hot water tank

Bet Ann's not impressed

[lee_capri]

she like's the new rad in the bath room it's just the one not working

 

she said that it is typical when i do some thing it is half done has usal

[Mk1-Maher]

Try bleeding every rad in the house of air and see if the pressure drops at the combi gauge if it does, there should be a couple of switches just below the boiler (open them both up, only if you have a foggiest of what your doing) that take the pressure back up then bleed the rads again and continue this till the system is hot all through, other than that i can only think it could possibly be an air lock in the flow pipe that you would have put in. its been a while since ive done any central heating stuff so sorry if im not much use.

Good luck

[mk1super]

Ive a combi and its fookin shite my heatings either boiling or its freezing and as for instant hot water thats a pile o shite too. The Raditor in the kitchens about as much good for warmth as a one penny candle!

[Posse]

Very bling lee what what what

[lee_capri]

[Mk2Jo]

I would quite like one of those rads in my bathroom but I don't think I'll let Ian loose with our plumbing

[lee_capri]

it's easy once you get the jist of it i think i fitted the whole of the bath room has it was 1960's and done the kitchen includeing putting pipe's in ect,nothing to it just has long you dont mind a leek or two to start of with it

[marky4]

if your sure the pressure it right 1bar when cold 2bar when hot and you have bleed all the rads (with the boiler off) then make sure all the rad valves are fully open (both ends of each rad) then see which rads get hot, the ones that get the hottest 1/2 to 3/4 close 1 of the valves on each rad and then hopefully that will push the water to the one's that are not working.

if that does not work shut all the rads that are working and leave agood 10 mins or until the one's that weren't working start to get hot make sure both pipes at each end are nice and hot then 1/2 open the valves on the other rads, good luck
