Hi all,
I recently moved into a house about 6 months ago and during this process we removed all radiators to allow us to plaster the walls and paint.
After this process we managed to add the other radiators back to the wall and connect correctly, except for one radiator, as one of the brackets had broke.
We searched far and wide for a same bracket online, but unfortunately couldn't find the one we needed to match the current one.
Anyway, we have had the heating running now for a number of months, as we had turned the tap off for that radiator. Then all of a sudden tonight we heard a massive noise and ran upstairs to find that pipe that is open was pouring with water.
We managed to turn the water off to stop this from causing more damage.
My question is, why would this of happened? We haven't had any issues for months with this solution, but all of a sudden this happened. I can't think of anything that has happened differently this evening to have caused this. Is this likely to have caused long term damage anywhere when we connect the radiator?
Any help would be appreciated.
