Jon_S Posted yesterday at 18:39 Posted yesterday at 18:39 Hello Newbie to the site and looking for a bit of help/ guidance. Im currently refurbing my en suite, which involves the relocation of a radiator. I’ve drained the system (gravity fed) & relocated the pipes. Refilled the system, all rads working except downstairs lounge (most prob furthest from cylinder) Ive tried all the usual stuff, bleeding, balancing but no joy. Lockshield & TRV all ok. Points to note- There is no rad currently connected to the relocated pipes in the en suite & the un functioning rad (perhaps coincidentally ?) is the point where I drained the system from. Any ideas?! With thanks

With a missing radiator not sure how you rebalanced the system, depending on it's plumbed, suspect you have simply cut the flow to the radiator that doesn't work. 1
Nickfromwales Posted yesterday at 20:50 Posted yesterday at 20:50 Where the rad is missing, you need to bleed the air out of those tails. If the problem then persists, turn the TRV of EVERY other rad 100% off and leave the rad not working 100% on, and run for 30 mins. Once (if) you see heat getting to the lazy rad, then open the rest of the TRVs back up and put the telly on. 1 1
