Hi folks,
Apologies if a thread like this already exists ... I've had a look and can't see anything, but it's always possible I've missed something.
We have 3 towel rails (2 ensuite and 1 family bathroom). All are fitted with thermostatic valves, all are currently in the 5 position but none of the radiators get hot.
I've tried bleeding them all (water comes out straight away), I've checked the valves are open (thermo and the LHS as well) on at least 1 but can't see anything.
I assume I'm missing something obvious?!
Looking in the airing cupboard, I can see three pipes "in parallel", coming from the primary feed to the hot water cylinder, then heading off (i think) to the CH system. 2 are controlled by Honeywells which seem to be working fine. The third has a red gate valve on it, in the off position ... The optimist in me would like to think that's to shut off the towel rails in the summer?! But I don't want to open it in case it's some kind of relief valve which will then go on to flood the downstairs ...
Any help very much appreciated!!
Cheers,
Tim
