Hi Ive never posted on a forum before, so please forgive any errors on my behalf, I have recently had 4 radiators replaced for new column radiators, fitted by a local plumber, the old ones heated up fine, to such an extent that you could not really touch them, however the new radiators barely warm up, none of them get what I would label as hot, the plumber noted that the radiators all needed balancing, but even after that being completed they still only get warm, the plumber tells me that's as good as it gets, but I cant understand that, as they heated up perfectly well before, the pump is on the highest setting and is working, so i'm now wishing I had left the very old ones in place, we rushed to get the radiators changed as we were having new carpets fitted which has now been done.Buy a decent rad and you'll be fine. CH water doesn't shoot across anyway when running at the correct speed.

He was a very smart engineer and he looked at what I was doing, and said I had a couple of fundamental problems,” Smith said. It has been my experience that column rads don't always seem to give the same enjoyment of the heat compared with standard rads. I assume that is because they convect the heat higher up. I therefore suggest that they are slightly oversized compared with the calculated heat output required for the room. Some rads have fixed baffles whereas others, better ones, have plugs which the installer fits himself and so can define which side is the flow and the return. If I look through the two horizontal pipes ( at the top and bottom ends), on one side, I can see through the pipe and on the other I cannot ( as I think there is a baffle). I want to know which side do the stop end and bleed valve go ( see through side or baffled side) and which side do the flow and return pipes go?

This Milano 15mm inlet flow diverter is a great accessory for your new radiator as it will help to direct warm water throughout each column, ensuring an even and consistent heat across the surface of your radiator. Fitting neatly between the valve and radiator, this flow diverter is great if you are having heat distribution problems with your radiator.

This was a great idea. When I looked into it I found suitable radiators could be obtained that would fit well in the space and hopefully give out enough heat. Below you can see the radiator we chose in our desired location. Pic. 1. I Hung My Vertical Radiator So It Looked Like This Pic. 1. I Hung My Vertical Radiator So It Looked Like This. Why This Particular Location? Then, attach the air vents being careful not to over-tighten as this can damage the O-ring. You can then connect the radiator tail with your adjustable spanner until there is just one thread showing. Your radiator is now dressed and ready to be installed. Step 2: Measuring

All the rooms required heating and we always expected to add radiators to our existing system to do that. We put a towel radiator in the shower room and the smallest double panel radiator in the lobby. I've replaced the water pump today and there was nothing at all wrong with it. It was in perfect condition. But at least it'll now last longer. No matter the reason for fitting a new radiator, we’ve compiled each and every step that you would need to fit it yourself along with a list of tools you will need. Steps on How to Fit a RadiatorI was really concerned that the radiator might break away from the wall after the work was done and burst the pipes causing a very bad flood as well as other damage. So I wanted to do all I could to prevent such a disaster. In practice when we are in the new lounge we often have the door to the original lounge open allowing a free flow of air between the two rooms. The powerful radiators in the original lounge supply heat to the new room when the door is open. The door to the kitchen is often open too so all three rooms have their temperature averaged out. I'm re-doing my house and am installing vertical column rads to free up a lot of essential wall space. I'm worried that the water will shoot straight across the bottom tappings rather than going up the columns.
