Balancing Radiators Help and information on all topics relating to your central heating, air conditioning and ventilation issues.

Can anyone give me any advise on how to balance radiators? Being an engineer I would assume that those nearest the boiler would not have the lockshield valves open as much as those furthest away. Am I on the right track?

That is one of the considerations. Generally, you crack open half to a full turn the lockshield valve on the hottest radiators leaving the cold rads fully open.
