still ---cold radiator--after Gorton No2

norb

tried the Gorton no 2I replaced the Main vent with a Gorton 2.  The steam is now traveling nicely throughout system, and I made the adjustments to the other radiators that you suggested.  However, the same problem remains.  The upstairs bedroom ( farthest from the boiler) still is cold to the touch , it has a Gorton D vent which is not blocked---it is in good shape.  I do notice this:  the valve on the floor is piping hot, but the heat does not get into the radiator.  Is there a blockage? and if so, I do I fix this?  The only way THIS radiator will get hot is if I really crank the temperature on the thermostat, which I do not want to do. I want the rad to get hot under "normal" settings and cycles. <a href="http://www.heatinghelp.com/forum-reply/1279158/tried-the-Gorton-no-2">Reply</a> <a href="http://www.heatinghelp.com/forum-edit-post/1279158/tried-the-Gorton-no-2">Edit</a>

Check Inlet Valve.

Hi- Is there a chance that the radiator inlet valve is broken?  It could be turning okay but internally the pieces have become  disconnected and the valve remains closed,

The only way to check for this is to disconnect the radiator at the spud nut and take a look at the inside of the valve. Be careful as radiators tend to be top heavy when disconnected and fall over easily.

Have you tried removing the radiator valve?
