Everybody else suggests remedies without providing insights into the basic phenomenon at the root of the problem. Thanks for such a refreshing video to ground us in the fundamentals of what is taking place!!!
Thanks. Very Straight forward and easy to understand. I removed a radiator at home for decorating and it's not heating up now even though the rest are. This radiator has a small drain valve at the bottom to connect a garden hose pipe. Il try this method.
Hi Ammo Bee, thanks for your message, bet the wall looks lovely now it all painted nicely BEHIND the radiator! Hope your managed to get the airlock out.
I know this is from 3 years ago but my method if it is just one radiator is to run off some water from the vent screw with the lockstop valve closed, open the lockstop valve but close the main valve / remove the thermostatic head then run off some water in that direction. Obviously it is best to note how many turns you have to give the lockstop valve so you can put it back in the same setting.
The thing is, a modern boiler will shut itself down if the system pressure drops for example, when a drain valve is opened. Also if you run off too much system water you will compromise the inhibitor effectiveness. I try to save what I run off so I can get it back in the system.
0:50 Why the water cannot pass the created air bubble? Isn't the pump strong enough to create differential pressure and push the air further into the radiator?

Awesome simple explanation cheers

Hey Nik, quick question, do I have to turn off my Boiler before I bleed the air out? Or Just leave the Boiler on and running? Thanks!
always off!
