I once had a blockage in a radiator pipe that caused the water to bypass that radiator, but made all others hotter. The circulation system was pretty hard to understand without seeing it, so I just used the brute force method of figuring out where the blockage was to isolate it before fixing it.<br><b>References : </b><br> I’m not sure about the procedure you described above, but I would try turning off all radiators, then turning them on one by one.

These are the valves at the opposite end of the rad to your control valves. You balance them like this: turn all the check valves and thermostats to half way. Next day, turn the hot check valves down a turn and the cold ones up a turn. do this for a few days and the system will be balanced with all the rads coming up to temp at the same time with all the control valves being midway.<br><b>References : </b><br> The system needs balancing by settingthe check valves.
