trv,s

[learnplum]

Hi all, many thanks for all the replies, on my previous post.(fantastic) I am learning quick, with the help of this forum.
Now for the bad news, I have a further problem.
I have a rad, with one trv on it, and it is stone cold.
I have unscrewed the trv, and pushed the spindle in and out, and still no joy for a hot rad.
All other rads and boiler fine.
My question is?
If the spindle is naturally in the up position, should the rad be hot?
Thanks again.

Is t'other valve open ?

 

[learnplum]

Yes dancin about halfway.

I was gonna say that. It's amazing how many jobs I get with rads no workin and the lockshield shut lol.

 

[learnplum]

Thanks guys for a fast response.

 

[kris]

Is the pin moving easily or is it springing back out when you push it in. Stiff spring. Wee tap

 

[AWheating]

open the other valve fully,turn heating on only, turn off all your other rads, does it get warm?

 

[dancinplumba]

Tried banging valve ?

 

[learnplum]

HI guys, if I push the spindle down, with the trv removed, it springs back up immediately.
Does this help?

 

[kris]

Do what Aw said . Put on heating and close every other radiator apart from 1 in question n try force the heat . If still no joy then the trv s knackered.

Sorry to be vague. Should I tap the spindle then?

 

[learnplum]

[AWheating]

doh tap the valve, if the pin is moving then its working.

 

[learnplum]

Thanks all though, I can,t get things immediately.:tounge_smile:

 

[learnplum]

Sorry AW, the head is removed, and the spindloe moves up and down with pliers.

It should pop back up on its own, like a spring. What make is it?

 

[learnplum]

You serious ?

 

[learnplum]

YEP never get simple things.
Sorry about that, but a fact.

 

[dancinplumba]

What do you think "like" means ?

 

[dancinplumba]

In this context it means similar to. If you make a copy of something it is like the original

 

[learnplum]

Like means like the posting?
But all postings are liked surely?
My postings are for me embarrasing.
I am loads behind, do you get me?
