Place the towels around the TRV and lockshield valve. Place the bowl underneath the TRV. Why are some radiators hotter than others? Some radiators occationally get quite a bit warmer than others. When this happens it usually means that your central heating system is out of balance.
In some instances, radiators can be different temperatures due to the distance that water that heats them has to travel from the boiler or pump. Is the lockshield on the flow or return? Systems are normally balanced by adjusting the lockshield valves usually fitted on the return side of each radiator. The lockshield valve restricts hot water flow to certain radiators in order to divert flow to others, thereby balancing the system.

Leave them fully open, you have to have at least one rad permanently open so the pump can always push water round the system when it's on. YourRepair is growing.

Many modern homes will have TRVs — Thermostatic Radiator Valves — attached to most of the radiators on the opposite side from the lockshield valves. Open up the valves on every radiator in the house by turning them anti-clockwise.
Thermostatic valves or older wheel-head valves can be turned quite easily by hand but the lockshield valve will need a plastic adjuster or a spanner to open it. Once all of the valves have been successfully opened, turn the central heating back on and take note of the order in which the radiators heat up. Radiators nearest the boiler will often get hot first and, if you have a large home with lots of rooms and radiators , it might be an idea to employ a little help to ensure you get the job done properly.
Turn the heating off and wait for the radiators to cool down — this may be a good time to practice some yoga or something. If your radiators are not balanced, it will be harder to achieve the desired temperature if they are already on.
When the radiators are cool, turn the heating back on and go to the radiator on your list that began to heat up first. Turn the lockshield valve clockwise on this radiator until it is closed and then open it again by quarter of a turn. When the radiator is nicely warmed up, take a temperature reading at the pipework leading to one of the valves. Now, check the rest of the radiators in the order on your list.
Generally, the further the radiator is from the boiler, the more the lockshield valve will have to be opened. In order to balance your radiators correctly, you may have to have the lockshield valve opened fully at the final radiator.
