Pocster Posted January 21, 2021 Author Posted January 21, 2021 I happen to turn the radio off whilst I was standing next to the ufh manifold . Made a short gushing noise - like it was taking on water ; this correct ? . I assumed it would be like a conventional gas boiler and rads I.e just the same water circulating ... As it was quiet it’s the 1st time I’ve heard it . Wasn’t the pump - that stayed at the same speed . Just wondering ....
ProDave Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Probably some residual air in the system, it will whoosh or gurgle each time it comes past the pump. If you have an automatic bleed valve it will eventually self purge. 1
Pocster Posted February 2, 2021 Author Posted February 2, 2021 All seems to work Trying to get it to turn off at a set temp from room sensor

Pocster Posted February 2, 2021 Author Posted February 2, 2021 @PeterW that cheap eBay wiring centre you recommended seems to do the job brilliantly ???? 1
PeterW Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Ok to get rid of the air permanently, isolate the manifold and open the top drain valve. Then remove the brass bleed valve head and replace it with one of the Aladdin automated UFH bleed valves. Then repressurise the system, bleed the top rail using the pin and it will self bleed the remaining air over a few hours running.

Does it need a rub ?

PeterW Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 @pocster do me a favour and take a close up of that brass thing on the top rail please. want to see where the thread is and if it has a hex top. 1

PeterW Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 So that silver thing on the right looks like a Schraeder valve. Undo the cap and push the pin and see if you get any air out.

At the end of the day nobody cares how neat it is as long it works and if a paying job as long as they can invoice it. Better to do 10 sh!t looking jobs like that than one neat and tidy one. So what if the next person who looks at it thinks "What c**t did this?" He'll be the one remembered as taking an age to sort the problem not the one who did the job in record time. Better still if you can save on materials like cable ties and bootlace ferrules. Even better if the job then fails due to a dodgy connection, the customer will pay once again...and again. It's all about the coin ? 1

ProDave Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Don't forget to put the cables under the cable clamps. 1
Pocster Posted February 2, 2021 Author Posted February 2, 2021 Just now, ProDave said: Don't forget to put the cables under the cable clamps. I will ! . Just leaving it ‘exposed ‘ until I’m convinced it all works . House is so well insulated it’s still 19 degrees even though I turned them off at noon . Some HA code should turn them on once temp drops ( just as a test )
