airlock in bathroom hot water pipes

Anonymous user 15/03/2024 - 2.43 PM

Hi guys. Benn on here before, thanks for the help again Dave your a top man!So i drained my water and heating system to fit new bathroom suite abd shower plus 2 rads 1 in hallway downstairs and one in bathroom. Rads all back up and running but hot water wouldnt work in kitchen or bathroom. Dave told me to use a connection and hose on kitchen tap and turn the warm on then the cold which comes srtaight from the mains. This has worked not i have hot water in kitchen tap and bathroom sink but not the bath. I am just curious as to should i keep going with this method? My mixer tap in kitchen has a very small end which is very hard to connect hose connection to. At the minute i am holding on with my hands a nozzlelock over the tap head because it wont fit with my pafrtner controlloing the taps lol. So should i keep continueing this metod? Any more adive would be much appreciated guys. Thamks and thamks again to Dave the plumber. Yes Dave put the washing up liquid down soapy water was coming out the taps. Going to try again was out buying another tap/hose connection so fingers crossed thanks for the help

you have to keep going till water runs out of bath taps then close them and open basin tap for a few minuets more until water runs out close tap and keep going for a few minuets more,did you put washing up liquid in hose before you put it on tap,as i said before you may have to go to loft inside tank find down service to cylinder with squeezy washing up bottle squirt liquid down into hot down service.if it is only bath tap now it may be a blockage at the tap some of them have filters in them,what sort of taps are they ?.
