a few wks ago fitted 2 designer flat bar vert rads - I fitted to the 2 existing pipe drops the builder had let from ceiling . the radiators still now gurgle as if there is air in them - I have had just one on at a time and the noise stops put both on and it gurgles . all I can think of now is that the builder has piped something wrong - it is a terrace but he sems to have run the kitchen rad from the pipes in front bedroom carpet was fitted the day after I fitted the rads - from what he says he left the existing flow and rtn from terrace kitchen into back bedroom and then they go to the front bedroom and he has teed has teed all rads from here all tess next to each other so its possibly water flow noise . looks like carpets up job to look and floor - before this he said the pipes were existing pipes and a plumber did the kitchen rads but it now looks like hes done them
 
Some of them say to fill slowly and vent from opposite side from the side you fill from to stop air getting trapped in the tubes
 
can you balance down the lockshield sides to slow the water down and reduce the noise?
 
are they the thin style flat bar, ive found they always make some noise
but id leave the heating running for a week and see if you can get any air out before lifting carpets
 
can you balance down the lockshield sides to slow the water down and reduce the noise?

I will try this wk when I go back - this job is getting to me its connected to a issar which has on going problems
