    Boiler Noise

    Thank you for reply. I have isolated the noise to the hot water circuit in the boiler. Nevertheless the radiator system has been bled with no air evident and the heating system is not usually running when the noise is evident which is normally overnight. I would be grateful for any other pointers.

    Boiler Noise

    I have a Worcester Greenstar gas boiler circa 2017. There has been a noise coming from the boiler which resembles running water, I have checked the system pressure at 1.5bar and the relief valve but the noise persists unless a hot water tap in the house is opened then it stops for a period of...

    Heat turned off but pump in the airing cupboard keeps running

    You do not show in your photo the motorised valves (for hot water and heating). What type of valves are they, do they have a manual over ride lever, if so work the lever a few times and see if the pump stops when it comes back to the rest position. Depending on whether the last control command...

    New Radiator and Pipework not heating up

    I had tried your paragraph 2 prior to reading your reply and doing that relieved the airlock but thank you for responding. Just out of interest a new set of radiator valves were fitted and the system was clean with minimal suspended solids. We do not have any type of filter in the system but I...

    After shutting all the other radiators of and draining the kitchen radiator I broke the return connection and opened inlet and outlet in turn to ensure flow from each (as suggested by Unguided1 later on) there was some air in the return leg. Once reconnected and opened up the radiator slowly...

    New Radiator and Pipework not heating up

    British Gas installed 28mm to and from the boiler and the main manifolds are the same when the heating system was changed in 2001. The same manifolds that the 8mm pipework were connected to are used for the new radiator. I found several kinks in the 8mm pipes when I took it out so this could...

    New Radiator and Pipework not heating up

    This was my first thought with it being on a dropped circuit but the only vent I have is the one on the radiator, not counting an auto air vent on the system pipework (28mm). Here are some photographs of the joints Pic 1 shows connection to the existing supply and return pipework and redundant...

    New Radiator and Pipework not heating up

    Hi all, I have just rejoined the forum and would like advice on a problem I have experienced with a kitchen radiator. We originally had two small radiators fed by 8mm micro bore pipe fed from a sub 15mm pipe manifold which in turn connected to 28mm main manifold supply and return manifolds...
