    OMG.. So glad I found your video. I have managed to fix my heated towel rail that has been out of service for a few months. It was the little pin that was stuck, I tapped it a few times and its now red hot again. Thank you so much x

    Thank you so much for this. I followed your directions to free the valve pin and all is well. Lots of cash saved. I owe you a few beers, sir. See you down the pub.

    Many thanks for the video. I've just managed to fix my radiator thanks to your help. With my radiator it was a sticking valve pin causing the problem. I thought that all the water would leak out if I removed the valve but you showed me differently. A big thumbs up. Happy New Year to you and all. Cheers, Steve.

    My radiator has 2 Zehnder valves on left and right pipes. I've bled, but no air in radiator. But it's only getting lukewarm, whereas the valve on the right side is hot. Valves don't move in or out when I turn them.

    Thanks Tony. My valves are different and have a lever on them. When I open them up, they are leaking. Is this because they have not been sealed properly?

  • @elainehenderson842
    @elainehenderson842 Před rokem +1

    That was very helpful but my taps are different- they're like ordinary water taps, and it doesn't matter which way I turn them , the water doesn't get hot. Any advice please?

    Hasn't worked for me sadly, towel radiator is less than 3 years old, Valve on fully and the bottom section is scolding hot but top 2 sections are completely freezing. I took the bleed screw out completely until all air was gone and then screwed back in. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
