No hot water

[kevcrane]

Hi everyone
turned hot water off at the cylinder to install a bath, now no hot water from tap. Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Is it all the taps or just the bath?

If it's just the bath then its probably air locked.

Yeh its defo air locked without a doubt , no youl just have to clear said airlock,, as long as there are no non returns on the hot you need to try n force cold water up the hot , simply by attatching a hose from bath tap to bath tap, or if your lucky enough to have a mixer tap in the house without non returns,

If it's everwhere it could still be an airlock, blockage in the feed to the cylinder or faulty valve.

easy to snap a gate valve or its airlockedbest place to back fill is usually the kitchen sink or if you have a dual feed washing machine just link it there often find behing the washing machine even if its cold feed only theres a un used hot valve
