Milano - Modern Radiator Flow Diverter - 15mm Inlet

Product Information

There are a few different factors that can cause your radiators to become cold and not heat up properly, so we thought we’d put together this handy list of tips to help you solve your cold radiator problems – that way, you can save a little extra money to spend on the finer things in life and only call out the experts when there’s a real heating emergency. I have plumbed in the new radiator and the flow is now much more even, as expected. The supplier has confirmed a slight change of design. As a mechanical component, diverter valves can differ slightly in design, but it ultimately acts like a gatekeeper for water, sending the water in your heating system to where you require it at that moment. So, when you switch on a hot tap, the diverter valve will close off the central heating supply and send the water to the plate heat exchanger, which warms the water for that lovely hot tap water or deliciously warm shower.

Begin by ensuring that your central heating system is switched on and verify that the thermostat is correctly set. Some radiators require internal fittings called “flow diverters”. They ensure that water flows in the right direction through your radiator. A few years ago the previous owners moved the airing cupboard when they combined two of the bedrooms into one larger room -from what i understand this also meant changing to a pressurised tank a certain degree of re piping - is it possible that they may have plumed the pump incorrectly and this should in the central heating to provide more flow? NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank to close at least 172 branches in 2023/24 – here's the full list, plus alternativesOur standard 2-5 working days delivery is free of charge, and is offered to postcodes in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Wight, Isle of man, Channel Islands, Isles of Scilly, Shetland & Orkney. Switch your central heating off and allow it to cool down for a while – the last thing you need is a trip to A&E because you’ve scalded yourself with hot, sludge-ridden radiator water.

However, we strongly recommend calling out a gas safe registered engineer instead of attempting to fix the fault on your own. Professional advice is essential to keep your diverter unit, combi boiler and hot water system working safely and effectively. The flow diverter fits neatly between the valve and the radiator. It has been made from brass and has a durable chrome finish. NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Ulster Bank, which are all part of the NatWest Group, will now shut at least 172 of their bank branches in 2023 and 2024.

Your heating engineer should balance your system following the installation or maintenance of your overall central heating system. The Milano 15mm flow diverter is designed to force water through each column around your radiator, which ensures an even and consistent heat across the radiator’s surface. The flow diverter is designed to ensure all parts of the radiator get as warm or hot as it should be. If you find that none of your radiators are getting warm – and not just one of them – it could mean there are deeper issues with your boiler. One of the areas which i cannot work out is regarding the pump pictured above - this is not plumbed into the heating circuit, only the hot water. If this is correct then the only central heating pump is the one located in the boiler - what are the circumstances that would mean an additional pump is also required? (like the above but plumbed into the heating circuit). I have tried to annotate the original photo which shows the flows.
