Balancing heating system

[slacky]

Hey guys

I'm trying to Balance my heating system to get the best out of it but looking for some advice.

I've gone round and opened the lockshield to give 12 degrees between flow and return pipes and seems plenty of heats coming off the rads

Then once it's all cooled down turned the heating back on and find some rads are taking a lot longer to heat up than others. So I close the lockshield quarter a turn which seems to help the rads not warming up.

The rads that was heating up first are hot to touch but not much heat coming off them.

Any advice would be appreciated as what ever i do can't seem to win lol

Croppies got a great link for balancing. I'll give him a nudge for you.

Did u manage to sort it? I'm on my phone not sure if I have to go on the desktop site to view it

Give him time slacky. It's Tuesday night, bath night in the croppie house. He'll be back.

Just how many Kettles does it take to fill a tin bath (free standing rolled edge of course)?

That depends on the volume of displacement within the bath capacity. Anyone want to guess at croppies volume of displacement in the measurement of pints? lol

Half a pint
