Monument MON2915 2915Q Copperkey Pipe Cleaning Tool 15 mm

Product Information

These plastic pipes had also been laid to create a natural low spot (which I think is significant as it acts as a settling point for sludge when the water isn't circulating). The blockage has defo cleared so it's now just a case of hoping the 'kettling' subsides given the clearner that's in the system I've used Sentinel before but this time it's Corgi (that's what Toolstation supply).

After much huffing and puffing and furniture and carpet moving, I managed to locate the pipe connection points. So I put some cleaner in the system (I was intending to anyway after a few days of sorting the system). I desperately didn't want to re-pipe because I would need to chisel out OR run the pipes external to the wall but accept that it would be relatively easy (if external). At some point soon I will powerflush the system to get more sludge out - particularly if the kettling comes back. What I noticed was that if I turned the thermastat down on my boiler it didn't 'kettle', so it only seemd to happen at higher temperatures.After about 30secs a huge glug occured and black water came out I left it running for about 10mins to clear as much sludge as I could. A plumber’s choice for a robust, waterproof material are essential for cleaning in wet and dry conditions. This Small brush with steel bristles perfectly designed for cleaning internal copper fittings and pipes. When I did this I could see that the 2nd floor system had been added at a later date from the rest of the house as the main pipe runs were all copper and the 2nd floor was all plastic. PS - the reason rads occassionally got lukewarm was because of natural convection within the system.

If incorrect pipe only suitable for hot and cold water, then they will block solid due to ingress of air through pipe walls.

I then re-connected the hose from the external tap to the pipe and turned it on (slowly increasing the flow). Initially the noises didn't subside but I knocked the thermastat back to min and ran it for about 8hrs. Both are designed to clean the inside and outside of copper pipe making this a handy tool to keep in your plumbing kit.which seemed logical as I'd been clearing sludge from the system and there was bound to be some in there). I'm currently in the process of ramping up the thermastat slowly (over the next few days I'll get to max) so we'll see how we get on. In an ideal world you are best with a sealed system if gas or oil system (combi or heat only boilers), no plastic pipes because they absorb air and tend to have other problems, a magnetic filter installed perhaps and inhibitor in system. I have 2 rads on the second floor of my house that have been cold/lukewarm for years and I've just got it sorted after a huge amount of work so hopefully this may be of some help to anyone in a similar position! They are suitable for removing corrosion, oil and grease and can be used in both wet and dry conditions.

Thanks KIAB - I have recently installed a magnetic filter so I'm hoping this will pick up lots of the sludge.If I need to get a new heat exchanger or boiler I'll powerflush BEFORE doing so as I don't want to risk blocking a new one. I confirmed this by placing a magnet on a piece of copper pipe and getting a magnetic force (which indicated a ferrous material must be inside the copper). The 1st floor and 2nd floor rads are on the same zone and all 1st floor rads were hot but the two on the 2nd floor were lukewarm/cold. I did this from both 1st floor upwards (with discharge to 2nd floor) and from 2nd floor downwards (with discharge at 1st floor).
