Hi everyone,
I have the old style baseboard heaters in my house in rooms that I have not remodeled yet:
They had the old bleeder valves so I installed new ones: Honeywell YHFV180s (the gold round air bleeder in the picture). Anyway, I have always had problems with this one particular heater - the inlet pipe is very hot, the radiator / fins and outlet pipe are not.
I was hoping the new valve would resolve the issue but it did not. My only guess is that there is some sort of internal blockage that is preventing the hot water from circulating. Eventually I will replace it with the modern baseboard, but I was wondering if there is anything I could do to clean it out?
The interesting thing is I will get air and eventually water from where the bleeder valve screws in, however it is not hot. I don't understand how that is the case so hopefully someone has an idea.
Thanks!
