Good Morning!
On Sunday I re-piped a bit of my boiler to replace an older expansion tank with a new style one and install a spirovent jr. I brought the boiler back up and started the bleeding process. I turned the boiler off from Monday morning until about 7:00 PM.
This morning I was woken up by the pipes "screeching" which I attribute to there still being air in the system. I was able to bleed the radiators again prior to going to work but there is still air.
I have a couple of questions stemming form all of this:
(1) How can I tell if the the spirovent is doing its job? Aside from one time during the initial fill-up I haven't heard it let out any air.
(2) How long should it take to get all the air out of the system that has been freshly filled?
(3) What is the correct sequence to bleed the radiators? I've been starting at the furthest one from the boiler and bleeding with the circulation pump off.
Thanks again for all the help!
