radiator

I need to replace a radiator, one of the valves is a Peglers B.S 2767 the tail in the old Rad is proving very difficult to remove can you still get tails for these valves? As replacing the valve will involve a lot of work I have a Wicks 15mm x 1/2" valve but the treads appear to be different.

Good morning, I moved into a flat in August and last month decided to get a new boiler and radiators for each room except the kitchen. The heating is good enough but the living room radiator which is bigger than the all of the other ones, is not as hot. The bottom of it is hot the middle is...

Hi.Drained the system today after running for a week or so with radiator flush in. Turned water supply back on but,stupidly only bled upstairs radiators...Now system is not getting warm and boiler only kicks in for short stints. Bled complete system and opened valve by the 3 way / pump.lots of...

I have replaced a radiator and I managed to spill some of the contents of the old rad on the carpet. Is there any way to remove the black stain? It's an industrial grade carpet so I can use pretty much any chemical on it but i have no idea what I can use that will remove the iron oxide. Any...

We live in a bungalow and have a problem radiator that will not heat up at all. My OH has changed the thermostatic valve, tried bleeding it and has this morning taken radiator off and flushed it, still cannot get any heat from it, appeared to start heating up when he had bleed valve open then...

Hi all, this is my first post so hoping I've got it in the right section. I'm a casual DIYer so this may be a simple question to most.. looking to replace the old head on the photo for a new TRV head. Do I simply need to undo the nut at the top & slot a new head on or does the old fixing need to...

Hi, I live in a building where the heating and boiler is centralised - each flat has a single radiator. I bled mine last week and it began to work again (although patchy in areas). Today it got fully hot and then began to internally drip (it's tall), the radiator then stopped working so i...

Hi all Does anyone know if a 1270mm long radiator ( preferably designer panel type double backed in white) exists? I am replacing an existing rad 1270x600 so would like to just swap out and avoid modifying/draining the pipework if possible. I’ve looked on line and the closest I’ve seen is...

Hi. Having problems with these rad valves. The chrome type fitted to acova column radiators in a renovation project. Ex-plumber here but been out the game for 15 years. Basically, they ‘work’ when heating starts from cold but then trv shuts off and never cuts back in. So for example - heating...

Hi folks I've ripped and replaced our central heating recently, bar the boiler, mainly fitting Kudox radiators from Screwfix, which are well reviewed. I'd taken advantage of the bundled TRV deal too - mainly Drayton. I've found that 4-5 of the 11 radiators I've fitted have leaked from around...

I have a leaking radiator which in the last week has filled up half a saucepan of water. It’s the valve that is leaking at the bottom however I do not know what the name for this type of valve is called so any help would be appreciated. I am pretty good at general D.I.Y. But have little...

My bathroom radiator has a damaged Thermostatic Valve. I took it to a local DIY firm to look for a replacement. They informed me that I would need to know the manufacturer as different companies have different style connectors. I have attached a photo which shows the valve & connector. Can...

Any tips for removing plugs from a new Kudox radiator?

Hi there, just spent the best part of 3 days in only what I would describe as "a big hoose" domestic 60 kW boiler. The client wanted 2 radiators added, 1 radiator added in master bedroom and 1 added in bedroom 2 that was the son's nursery. Completed the works today. The existing system is mild...

Hi there Looking for some advice on connecting a radiator. Have finally got round to replacing a really old radiator wher I assumed the bracket had slipped as the whole thing was at an angle. However when I hung the new one I realised the pipes are at different heights and whoever installed...

Hi, Ive got this problem in my bathroom, its only leaking around the radiator, what would you say the problem is? not sure if its the radiator or the pipes that are leaking... im not a plumber so i thought id ask someone who knows more thanks

Hi, I have just tried to bleed a radiator with the key and the top of it has sheered off, I have put a towel down but there doesn't seem to be any water coming thankfully, what should I do in the long term?

Hello I would like to add a radiator to my current heating system and would like to take some advice on how to achieve this? Thanks

Hi All, I am looking for a bit of advice. I am not a plumber, just a DIYer who has been doing his own plumbing for more than 40 years. I understand how central heating works with flow and return but have a bit of a potential issue which I want to discuss. Bit of background first. I had a...

Hi, Is it ok, after draining the system and removing all but one radiator to turn on the combi boiler, in order to get hot water, until new radiators are installed? I've left the pressure at 0 so haven't filled up the system and have put capnuts on each TRV side just in case. (Couldn't get...
