Hi Folks
I maintain a small community centre's radiator system which is served by what looks like 1 1/2" steel pipe. Anyway an issue I am usually called out twice for in the early winter, is to vent this 1 1/2" pipework using the manual air vent on in particular the upper of these two pipes.
My question is therefore largely just one of confirmation, that I should indeed be able to avoid this by installing an automatic air vent instead of the manual vent on this upper pipe? This will of course require some draining down or perhaps freezing of the pipe in question so would like to get right. Comments or suggestions welcome.
