Always keep the curtains open when the radiator is on? That doesn't make any sense whatsover. We only have the radiator on when it is cold and the cold comes in through the glass so of course curtains need to be closed to retain the heat in the room. We need to have the curtains closed AND the radiator underneath the window on. I'm searching for advice for that. People tuck the curtains behind the radiator for this reason but sometimes this isn't possible. What might other options be? Thank you

Sums it up

At about 1:00 you missed out the step where you have to fuck about with the drain valve for hours on end because the valve gets stuck (after years of inactivity). Then you have to pull the entire valve body out and behave like Moses holding back the water for a while.

Hi bought an Aruba vertical rad with central inlet, also an Aruba H block valve. Sadly no instructions were included and my live chat was rudely cut short, so could you please tell me the fitting sequence of the 15mm copper pipes into the valve? There are 4 components 1, a rubber sleeve. 2, a flat brass washer. 3, a brass split olive. 4, a chrome lock nut, which is obviously last to be fitted. Kind Regards

Even though this is a “short”, I appreciate that the issue is addressed. It’s been hard to find videos about window treatments that don’t obstruct a baseboard heater.

Perfect.

what are the advantages of column radiators vs convector radiators - or other types? Are they more/less efficient?

Hi do you fix each bracket using one of the screw holes or both in each bracket , a little unclear with top of bottom screw references Cheers Chris

must be doing something wrong...Ive drained the system, closed all the bleed valves. turned the water supply back on to the boiler feed, the pressure gauges instantly goes to 1.5-1.6, but the rads are empty? Ive got hot water all fine...

Thanks Bestheating guys. Your video taught me about bleeding point on towel radiators plus taught me or reminded me few things. I am fairly good on these things being a mechanical engineer. If I had paid attention to basics, as we are told, I may have found it but I think google has made us lazy and a little issue we open google. Again thanks to you and people like you for guiding us all. Cheers.

My towel radiator doesn't have a bleed valve that we can see. Any ideas?

Excellent video and great presentation. Clear and informative.

Hi guys, if you have one of the smaller radiators, they come with two different sized brackets. Which should be at the top?

Mines not got a space for radiator key its solid

My system has taken 6 hours to drain. I tried to make it go faster by attaching a hand-pump to the end of the hose to pull on the water. Central heating work is hard!

column design radiator

This is awesome man! Soo helpful, thankyou! BTW - do I need to turn off the water at the mains stopclock too?

Well explained ..thank you ..

Thanks so much for this, it looks super simple. I'm going to try this tomorrow when the heating is off (it's too cold tonight!). I have a question though, how would I top the boiler pressure up - and in fact - how would I know if I have a pressurised system? We have a dial similar to the one shown next to the on/off switch, so I'm guessing that's is a pressure gauge?

Brilliant. No nonsense or time wasted. Cheers!

Simple, quick and detailed. Brilliant video thank you

Seems doable. Thank you for the clear explanation!

Hello...do I need to turn off water supply first? Thank you

We like it alot

Works great

just as it should

I have one that i have installed. the element is heating up fine as you can feel it in the radiator bar it slots into. however the bars in front of that isn't getting hot (ie the whole radiator). do you know the reason for this?

Follwed ypur guide, thanks. I’m assuming the valve hasnt closed properly as water leaks everytime I put the boiler on. My setup is slightly different to the video (the pipes come from the walls into the radiator). Can you help?

This could have been useful if there wasn't such bad echo, but a lot of it is inaudible.

Hi, what is the size of the hex key for screwing the valve connector into the radiator (39s of your video)?

another background music giving an headache - why don't you just speak up and explain.

Even this video technically just showed a DIY install of a radiator but not the connecting bits to the actual water pipes, its almost like hanging a photo frame, you should have shown the actual connecting to the pipes etc, may be a pushfit pipe or copper pipe (1980s)

Did you say wrap the tape 17 times? there must be slip of tongue!

Thanks, helped me replace our towel radiator no problem.

Drill bit size for the supplied screws and wallplugs? That's what I came here for :-(

Is it normal for the boiler to have what sounds like air in it when turned back on after filling back to normal pressure? I ask this because I seem to get air in the boilers after refilling system and the noise can be quite alarming.

Great easily set out instruction thanks

Where do you get the trv from

Did this and the water wouldn't stop coming bathroom flooded now cheers

Well we did that and there was no hissing and the rail is still hot at the bottom and cold at the top

Great video...thanks.

Do you have to put the glycol in the radiator?

Your videos are the best for plumbing. No time wasting, no trivial stories, no excessive safety recommendations. Just the info we want to see.

we all know what a filler loop is dont we??

And magically the valve is connected to the the water pipes

Should you use PTFE tape when installing the element?

My large towel rail gets hot but my bathroom is always cold any suggestions ?

Or just check no one has accidentally closed the bottom valves 👀
