So, moving house just now and doing a bit of work (new bathroom etc) and part of this has been in the living room where once stood a 2.4m behemoth of a radiator. 600 x 2400 weighing in at about a metric tonne that was goosed.
Anyhow, yesterday I spent the day removing this giant to be replaced by two smaller nicer units, 600 x 600 Stelrad Softlines, reviews say they are decent.
Now each radiator in the house hasnt been bled fully yet, but the two new ones arent warming despite the inlet on the first new one getting warm and having been bled, cold water is getting through them. Hot water just doesnt seem to want to enter the rad, TRV set to 4.
How I set up was thusly, the old inlet pipe (that went to the old rad valve) has been installed to the new rad 1s TRV, the outlet from this new rads lockshield is piped to the TRV on new rad 2 and theoutlet from its lockshield is joined to the original outlet (the old rads lockshield).
Now my question is; is the set up right? Logically it makes sense to keep it flowing as a circuit. I have fitted plenty of rads over the last 2 years, but never split one in two like this.
Is it just a case the whole system needs bled? Its not a closed loop but is fed from a header tank in the attic.
Over to the experts please
