    Great video! Question if I may please regarding these vertical rads. I know some of them can be piped up either way, but I assume the TRV’s would always go on the flow side? Is that right? My house has these vertical rads downstairs and normal rads upstairs. Whoever installed them before I bought the house a few years ago has put the TRV’s on the return side of some of the rads. I did my best to try “balance” them as some weren’t getting as hot as others and most get piping hot now but they take at least 30 mins to get hot. I have a Vaillant EcoTec Plus 825 with 8 rads. I assume it’s best to drain down the system and move the TRV’s to the flow side so everything is correct? Cheers

    • @cputilitysolutions

      TRVs these days would be bi-directional anyway so it shouldn't really make a difference but yes ideally they should be on the flow

    It’s definately piped the way it should work in the style of a one pipe system been doing it 47 years you must keep the loop so waste can pass to next rad if you turned rad off at valve

  • @Heatmat-y5p

    If you used the two pipes coming out the floor and just went to each valve / it would stop the whole dystem from working

  • @Heatmat-y5p
    @Heatmat-y5p 2 дні тому

    This is called a one pipe system and is found in schools a lot and its basically just a loop in front of the radiator you have to be careful and pipe the same or you can stop other radiators working if you try to change the style and it’s a complete night mare to adjust to a two pipe system

    Well said, spoke the truth can't explain any better than this, very direct and full of facts, but unfortunately, NOT every customer will understand acknowledged what you've said as many customers are very self centred, it's always me, me, me so in the situation like that, just take a deep breath and silent yourself, conserve your energy as they will drain your brain and your energy. In the time like this, it's winter lots of people having problems with their boiler, central heating not working and gets very frustrated and cranky , especially elderly people, as they're tired with their life, getting old. when something goes wrong they gets angry very easily. So for your own benefits, you'll just have to take it easy. You're very hard working man and doing great wonderful work, and keep it up. You're settling good examples.

They think they are doing you a favour by staying in for a couple of hours so you can fix their boiler.. also, always want an exact time like it's an office meeting 😂. Then will bugger off out and keep you waiting.. will say they're working so come in the evening..
