Central Heating has no vent by Hot Water Cylinder Help and information on all topics relating to your central heating, air conditioning and ventilation issues.

Hi All,
The central heating system in my house is open vented with a conventional boiler. Which is fully pumped. I have replaced a couple of radiators in the past & have had trouble with airlocks while filling the system again.
I have notice I do not have a vent located by the hot water cyclinder in the coil circuit.

Do I need one of these as I also have alot of air running in the system that I can not remove.

For your info, The central heating was put in a few years after the house was built if that helps.

Thanks in advance,

Creeky

When I installed my own heating I included an air bleed nipple above the hot water coil. This meant that I could bleed the coil in the same way as I would with any other radiator. I have not been troubled with air in the system!

Hope that helps
