Hello fellow plumbers,
I am really close to finishing my first year at college and my Brother in law has just bought an old house. On the survey it picked up it had no TRVs. I really fancy helping them out and trying to do the job as i feel it will be straight forward but just want to check some advice from online first.
Ok here goes, From looking at the system i think its a fully pupmed indirect open vented system.
there is a room stat in the hall way which i assume turns the boiler off when it get to the correct temp
The central heating pipe work is small bore and its a 2 pipe system seperate flow and return
So shall i just drain the whole system, fit all new small bore trvs, put inhibitor into the sytem via f&e and fill one rad at a time ??
Now as its an old sytem i dont know if its full of crap or whats gonna happen.
Oh and one of the bedroom has no heat in its radiator at all, i have felt the flow and retuern pipes and they are both cold. Shall i follow the flow under the floor untill it get hot ? do you think it could be blocked etc ?
Any help gratefully accepted
Cheers Joely
