T&T: Airlock on hydronic heating system

[Henry Dennig]

Hello,

    For those who have sent replys, thank you.

    The system does not have a bleeder valve - on the radiators or inline.

    The fill procedure has been to attach a pump to the output side of the
boiler (boiler has a copper T, with a ball valve and garden hose connection on
the leg), the input of the pump into a bucket of antifreeze, and a hose on the
input T of the boiler.  Turn on the pump, open the output T, then input T,
pushes out the old water with the antifreeze.  But I must have pushed air into
the system too.  The manual advises to run the pump for 10+ minutes to push
air out.  Have done that twice.  Still no joy.

        Henry
