Gravity system.
2 rads and 1 towel rail.
Base of F&E tank to top of towel rail approx 300-400mm
Base of F&E tank to top of rads approx 800mm
All stone cold when heating is on, although the customer tells me that after the heating has been on for about 3 hours they do start to feel warm.
I have turned all trv's off to downstairs rads, leaving 1 towel rad with manual valves open (really didnt wana touch them)! to try and force the water up, if it will but no joy at all, pipework is just cold.
I've always thought you need min 900mm from base of F&E to top of rad for it to work ?
Anyone else had this ?
