Hi,
I have had some radiators off at the house to replace theskirting board and have a question about refilling them.
Should I open the water in valve and bleed valve and refillthe radiator forcing the air out the bleed valve? Or Do I open both valves andthen just bleed the radiator afterwards?
Sorry the instructions I find just say “refill the radiator”
Cheers
Dave

Open both valves then the bleed valve. Then when all the air is out go round the other radiators to make sure air has not got into the system and lodged in other radiators.
Thats what i normally do.0 -
Cheers my thinking was if I refill with just the bleed valve open then air won't end up trapped in the other rads.0
