My daughter's room in our new house is in the loft, and the radiator doesn't feel particularly hot up there, so I thought I'd bleed it.
Turning the key, I heard the air escape, but after a few seconds, nothing. No air and no water. I know the radiator has got water as the bottom half and the feeder pipes are hot.
So then I thought the heating water pressure might not be high enough to push the air out up there. The boiler says it's at 0.9bar, which is a little low. However! My question...
I'm used to boilers having a little water valve under them, which this one doesn't have... YouTube examples all do in the area I've circled.
Anyone got any suggestions how to increase the pressure in my boiler?
