    After renovating my bathroom in the summer, my cast iron radiator no longer heats.
    I bleed it, but no water comes out and no heat. Only the air. What should do.

    Hi Syhall:

    If you are getting air you will eventually get water... ;) There is a fastfill feature at the fill valve of the boiler and that could speed everything up for you, but it could also cause an issue if the fastfill feature disturbed the pressure regulator valve and you don't want that, for sure!

    Stick with letting the air bleed out slowly. As stated, eventually water will flow out the valve and you will be all set.

    If you finally get frustrated and want to know more about the fast fill feature on the presurre regulator... let me know.. OK?

    Keep me posted...
