Bleeding a Radiator

When to do it?
You should do this if the top part of the radiator is cold and the bottom is warm. This means that there is air trapped in the system (which should be filled with water). Bleeding the radiator releases this air and allows hot water to fill the whole system.

Before Bleeding.
If the whole radiator is cold, check the radiator valve is turned up. If more than one radiator is cold, the whole system may need to be checked by an engineer. Email us at the office to arrange this (fixit@poppyresidentialonline.co.uk). Turn off the heating system before bleeding otherwise the pump might draw more air into the system. You will need a radiator key, available from most DIY shops, you will also need an old cloth and a bucket/bowl.

How to Bleed.
The bleed valve is the smallest square nut at the top end of the radiator. Place the key over the valve and hold the cloth around it to catch any water. Gently turn the key anti-clockwise until you hear a hiss – this is the air being released. When water starts to come through, turn the key back clockwise to shut the valve off. DO NOT UNSCREW THE VALVE COMPLETELY AS THE PLUG WILL COME OUT.

Turning Off Electricity

If you need to turn off all electricity, use the main on/off switch on the fuse box.

Checking the fuse box
It will either have fuses or trip switches. Modern electric circuits are fitted with a circuit breaker fuse system. If a fault develops, a switch is tripped and the circuit is broken, stopping power to the circuit. Old units will have fuses.

When a switch is Tripped
Open the cover on the consumer unit to expose the trip switches. Check which switches have tripped to the OFF position and put them back to the ON position. For further info refer to the manual if available (if not in paper form these can usually be downloaded from the internet)

Overloading plug sockets are a common cause of a trip or blown fuse. Do not overload plug sockets by using multiple plug adapters.
