Discuss How do I get heat to a far away radiator in the USA area at PlumbersForums.net

Hi,

I have a radiator here and it isn't getting any heat to it. Water runs out of both sides and it's been cleaned out. It works when all the other radiators are off so what I'm thinking is that the hot water isn't reaching the radiator due to the pump not having the strength to get it there (it's the furthest away).

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas to get around this.. I've seen some "boosters" but I'm not sure how good/reliable they are.

Thanks
 
If it works with all other radiators turned off that suggests the head provided by the pump is enough to overcome the resistance of that circuit. It is more than likely a balancing issue.

Seems to be some flaws in the brass of this tap (faucet?). It has fine scribbly black lines crossing from the inner of the pipe to the outside. I guess that's why it still drips a bit even after a number of reseating attempts and many new different washers. Is this something others have seen...
