Trusted Radiator Repair in Horley

Cast iron radiators are a type of heating system that uses hot water or steam to warm a room. The water or steam flows through a series of tubes within the radiator, and as it heats up, it radiates warmth into the surrounding air.

To bleed a cast iron radiator, you will need a radiator key and a cloth. First, locate the bleed valve on the radiator. It is usually a small valve located near the top of the radiator. Insert the radiator key into the valve and turn it counterclockwise until you hear a hissing sound. This will release any trapped air in the radiator. Hold the cloth under the valve to catch any drips, and close the valve when a steady stream of water is released.

Yes, it is possible to use a cast iron radiator to heat multiple rooms. However, you may need to install multiple radiators or use a larger radiator to adequately heat the additional space.
