Hot water radiator won’t get hot?
Monday, February 2nd, 2009Hot Water System FAQ:
I have two radiators in the house, one is working and the other is not. I bled both and it improved the one that is working but the other it had no effect. After the system was on for awhile I went in to the basement and I found that the pipe going from the furnace to the second radiator cooled down about half way down the pipe, it never even reaches the radiator. If fact, it’s short by about 10 feet. The pipes that lead to and from the radiator to the furnace are both hot.

What can I do to fix the second radiator?
