Hi there,
I'm a graduate student living in a school dormitory in Boston. The building I'm in is around 30 years old. The central heating system was recently turned on for the winter and a pipe behind a wall in my room has been making an incredibly irritating clicking noise ever since. The sound is irregular and intermittent.
The pipe looks like it sends hot water through the radiator that runs along the ground in my room. It can be accessed via a small hatch in my wall, as shown in the first picture below. The white casing on the ground in the back of the picture encloses the radiator. The radiator runs through my room and into my neighbors' rooms.
The second picture below shows a picture of the pipe behind the hatch, to which there seems to be attached two relief valves. Could these be used to bleed the radiator?
I'd greatly appreciate any ideas on getting rid of this noise. The maintenance staff in my building doesn't know what to do about it.
Thank you,
Pete
