Re: cold radiator

[quote="htg engineer"]Check pump setting, if on 1 or 2 - try 3 to see if there's any improvement. it may be that the pump isn't as effective as it should be. If not better then there's a blockage/kink in the pipe work. Sometimes at installation if a pipe is kinked it can last for years but...

[quote="plumbbob"]Yes you can.

The pressure vessel is probably integrated inside the boiler.

When you re-fill, only fill to between 1 and 1.5 bar. 2 bar is a little on the high side and will be putting unnecessary strain on the system fittings.[/quote]

Thank you, once again

Good morning.

Thank you for your reply,the boiler is a 90 BTU Firebird with a reillo burner.
Would the filling loop be connected to mains at all times? and is ther any risk of explosion if boiler is used at present due to cold weather?

[quote="plumbbob"]It really depends on what is causing the lockout. A faulty nozzle is only one possibility, and really ought to collect some symptoms to identify the problem otherwise you will have to replace the whole boiler part by part until you stumble on the cause. Someone needs to b...
