What brand is that radiator? Looks very nice.
I am getting new radiators and new Window boards. Is it best to do the radiator first or doesn't it matter?
Does the air vent need ptfe tape too?
Hi ,
I am trying to change a single radiator in the kitchen to doubled raditaor with the same size … the pipework is 5 cm away from the wall need to be 8cm away from the wall for the doubled radiator … any ideas to solve this
Good
Should the tail threads of a new radiator be rusted/have metal debris in the threads and, thus, it is impossible to screw in the valve tails by hand by even the smallest amount? Should screwing in with the spanner be VERY stiff on such a new radiator and cause a crunching noise to occur when doing so? Should the number of threads on the radiator tail be significantly less than that on the valve tail? If this can be the case, does one screw in the valve tail until just one thread is showing, ie way past the number of threads in the radiator tail itself? Even if screwing in thus is excruciating stiff with 5 or 6 threads of the tail still showing? Does it sound like we have been sold a 2nd-hand duff radiator as new? It arrived without plastic plugs in the tail. Metal debris was on the tails; could be felt easily on the fingers. The debris inside the bleed valve was even worse and the bleed valve itself immediately failed to shut after bleeding once filled up. New bleed valve seemed to solve that, but water bleeds out of the tails after radiator gets hot and cools down. I suppose I did only put 10 wraps of PTFE tape on, but I would assume the PTFE got destroyed by the crunching that occurred when screwing in the tails as far as they would go, ie with 4-6 threads still showing.
You should wait with the putting the carpet back until you've checked if the new connection is not leaking
