Discuss Is it possible to bleed these rads? in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
There was a screw at the top left (and top right I think) which I couldn’t gain access to due to the wall.Probably inside the casing at the top of the finned element. Just need to work out how to get in.
Never seen LST’s like this one. Any idea of the make so I can look them up Shaun?yes its an lst rad one of the panels should come off
Thank you.It might be a jaga but I will have a sift through my books

There’s a finned element along the bottom.
They weren’t getting very warm. Someone has repaired leak on boiler and probably haven’t vented when topping up. Flow and return piles to and from rads were fairly hot. Return probably not so much.Are you sure it needs bleeding?
Done many Jaga and the like elements.
Due to the low water content and the design of the flow through element, they very rarely need bleeding.
What's the problem with the heater in your view?
Yes, screw either side but right hand screw unable to access as too tight to wall.I can't see close up on photo but if it's what I think it is there are two screws at the top on each side just beneath the top of the plastic strip. Take those out and the top will come off. then the front sections/panels are slotted together.
Only take as many out as necessary because it can be a pig to reassemble. There should be an air tap on the top right front of the finned rad inside.

I though these were really old rads but looking at the info it seems not.Or not tried hard enough!
Now I know a bit more about them I can sort them out.

I cleaned the fins with a brush, not sure that helped.
