    No inhibitor, Primatic Cylinder, new radiators

    Thanks again Shaun, for once the system seems to have a little win, in the last year I’ve not had to bleed one rad in the system. Spoken to the previous owner and he can't remember the last time he did one either. Thanks Harvest Fields, I'll have a look at the Stelrads, they seem like a...

    No inhibitor, Primatic Cylinder, new radiators

    Hi All, So I found out the central heating system in my house has a Primatic cylinder so I can’t add inhibitor due to the risk of the water and hot water mixing. I am just fitting some TRV’s and wanted to replace 3 old rads with some new ones whilst the system is drained down. Eventually a...

    Bleeding antique heating system

    Thanks Shaun, I was thinking of laying a trench around a metre deep and then insulating the pipework. I'll look up the reg's nearer the time to make sure it complies! Thanks Chuck, I'd probably say at the moment the office is better insulated than the house :rolleyes: I've just been looking as...

    Bleeding antique heating system

    Bleeding antique heating system

    I'm guessing rightly or wrongly, the hot water and heating are two different circuits, I know from previously draining my parents heating system (a lot newer than this system) the heating circuit water was pretty manky. I'm thinking if my system can expand into the cold header tank I don't fancy...

    Bleeding antique heating system

    Hi Shaun, Thanks for the speedy reply! The klunks and bangs we can put with for now, just after doing a bit of research I thought it might be linked to air in the system! I've just been and rechecked, there is definitely no tank, it 'looks' like the pipe from the boiler to the cylinder...

    Bleeding antique heating system

    Hello, We have recently moved in to our first house, and are now expecting our first baby. Working through the list of things to do, one was to replace the heating system, the new arrival has put a slight delay to that. I am just redecorating the box room to become a nursery and need to...
