I replaced a Stelrad with a tall rad in the bathroom but it's not heating up.
The only difference in pipework is that the existing 15mm copper is extended by 800mm 10mm tails to the new rad position. New rad is full of water, Boss dual flow TRV one side and lockshield the other. The old rad had two normal valves. All other rads in the house working fine. All I can think is that the flow inlet is maybe meant to be on one particular side although the instructions didn't mention this. It did heat up initially when I opened the service vales but I think at the time that the loop to the far end of the house was turned off so I guess that squashes my dedicated inlet outlet connections theory. Any ideas on what the cause might be and what i should do to try and fix?? Should I try turning rads off?
