Two pipe Hot Water heating

If not too obvious:

-Have you bled air out of the non-performing radiator?

-Are the valves to it open (on both sides)?

-What happens if you valve off the other radiators, or some of them- do you get at least some flow?

-Might the radiator in question be plugged?

Problem Radiator in a Two Pipe Heating System

I have a two pipe forced hot water oiled fired heating system where the last radiator on the line does not get any water circulation. My house is a split level and the problem radiator is on the ground level. The radiators in the line prior to the problem one are upstairs. The radiator just before the problem one gets flow, but when this radiator is bled the pressure is not as great as the other radiators in the house. Any suggestions to get flow to the last radiator on the line in a two pipe forced water heating system. Thanks.

Two Pipe Hot Water Heating

Thanks for responding. Yes I believe that I have bled the air out of the radiator. When I keep the bleed valve open, eventually hot water will flow to the radiator. When the bleed valve is closed, water will no longer flow to the radiator. I do not have access to the piping that leads to any of the other radiators. I also do not think that any radiator has an individual valve for turning the water off to that radiator.
