Hello all,
Firstly let me apologise, I'm sure my questions below have been asked time and time again.
*
I understand the old type TRVs (uni-directional) had to be installed on the flow side of the radiator only, however the newer TRVs (bi-directional) can be installed on either the flow or return side. With this in mind, should the bi-directional TRVs be installed the same way round on every radiator i.e. either all on the flow or all on the return? Am I correct to think that by installing some on the flow and some on the return that the system will not balance correctly?
*
Bleed valves, where should these be fitted? The same side as the a) incoming flow, b) diagonally opposite the incoming flow, c) it doesn't matter or d) something else?
*
I've been advised that it is good practice to hang radiators slightly off level to allow any air to move towards the bleed valve, this makes sense but is it correct?
*
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.
