Been at a job where one radiator had stopped working.
15mm Hep pipe below floor is blocked with magnetite.
Seems strange that the system is mainly copper pipes and yet this plastic pipe is blocked nearly solid.
Some rads are done in 8mm copper, others in 15mm copper and very little in plastic.
I can't clear the blockage using a stiff wire.
I know the I.D. is smaller on plastic compared with copper, but does plastic pipe block easier for other reasons?
Going to be replacing pipe tomorrow, so will check if the original is barrier pipe
