Evening all,
A customer has shown me some designer, flat column type radiators she wants me to fit. On the bottom they are marked 'in' and 'out' which I assume means flow and return. Does anyone know if it makes any difference which way the flow and return is connected? I don't imagine it does but can't understand why else they're labelled as they are.
Thanks,
Jock
 
Yes it does have to be as labelled as there’s baffles/ diverter
 
They can be a real pain, are you able to swap them over somewhere else, say floor above or near boiler? Obviously only an option if they're all wrong.

I've just bought a 3-floor house with a gas boiler on the ground floor and hot water tank on the middle floor. When I switch on the hot water at the timer panel, it works but it also heats up all the radiators above ground floor. I have to close them individually to stop this. The rads aren't...

I have recently had this radiator fitted and currently it gets very hot. I would like to turn the radiator temperature down however I'm unsure which valve I need to turn. I am not sure which is the flow or return. Or does it not make a difference? At the moment, both valves in the picture are...
