    In theory yes, but probably not by a whole lot

    are they too hot to the touch? How is your boiler switched on & off?

    the boiler is switched on/off via a timer switch. two of the rads take much longer to heat than others and then never heat as good as others.

    i think i need to balance again - i have done this before but never seems to work for all that long.


    some of them (2) are too hot to touch

    once balance, theoretically they should all come up together, but obviously the ones at the end of the loop will take the longest, but once they are all up to temp they should all be at the same temp.

    go for balancing again....
