i replaced a flandge and had to release water from the emersion heater.put it back together turned the water back on only to find i now have no hot water the heating is fine could air get traped in the system if so how would i be able to release it
open all hot taps, cross link a cold water main into the hot pipework and open for a few seconds, that should shift it, best place is often a kitchen where you will have hot and cold washing machine taps, ideal has you have the 2 feeds close together and isolators in situe, perfect!
