Whilst investigating air in my hot water system / tapping noises from a radiator I noticed the return connection on the radiator isn’t fixed.Where the valve goes into the radiator just slides back and forth to the point I pulled it a bit far and water started coming out. Could this be the cause of air in the system? Is it just a case of tightening something up or is more work involved?
Thanks in advance
