plumber help

<< < (2/3) > >>

strapping young lad:
all other rads are piping hot so the pump bit should beok... so it could be either a stuck bit in the valve or bunged up rad hmm?

minty:
thay are dead easy to refit new ends on just a bit messy better off draining systerm i found, 1hr to drain .........10 mins to refit x2 new ends, another 1hr bleeding no problems.   and best of all thay compressed nuts so no soildering :lol:  :wink:

strapping young lad:
ok. so let me get this straight... if i find that opening the thermostat doesnt make a difference... to drain the whole system, remove the offending thermostat then refit new one?

or would you remove the whole rad then empty it out outside then refit?

waveydavey:
Doesn't really matter; if you have the valves off giving it a flush can't hurt. In fact if you drain the system you will need to put new inhibitor in anyway so it would not hurt to flush the full system.

strapping young lad:
i have a cold water tap which is underneath the combi boiler which i was told to turn on briefly if the water pressure fell..

now after i emtpy the water out of the rads.. is this the tap i use to refill the system?

bloody hell i feel like a numpty :(
