BASEBOARD HEATING HELP

frank_53

I have base board heat, the only problem is in the basement.The piping leaves the boiler for the loop at 1" then reduces to 1/2" for about 3/4,s of the house.The pipe runs to my secnd floor as 1/2" then returns and proply upsizes back to 1" then proceeds to reduce at the next base to 1/2" then runs back upstairs at 1/2" returns to the basement and upsizes again to 1" back to boiler.My problem or ? is 1. i have gurgling in the lines but get very little air from the bleeders. 2. can the cause of the air be the diffrent size piping? 3.Ican't make the piping bigger leading to the baseboard due to the fact it spans 2 floors and under the floor.

ANY IDEAS WOULD HELP

How old is this system? Has it ever worked? Was something changed or is this a continuous problem? Have you had any pro's check this system over and if so what is their opinion? How about pic's, I think that was asked the last time you posted this, of the boiler and close boiler piping...

hard to know what is going on with that from the description,

however, did it ever work right in your estimation?

if not, sans being there, it is a shot in the dark.

is there water at the bleeders on the second floor/ or a valve that is in line ?either right before the 1/2" take off or on the 1/2" if so there is possibly an easy Fix to the current situation buh not being there makes it a little difficult to detail everything to look for and when to look for it...
