Hi,
The radiator in our kitchen is no longer needed and I need to do something with the pipes.
After draining the central heating system, I was planning to cut the left hand pipe (shown below) with a pipe cutter (chipping away the wall plaster if necessary) and fitting a push on end cap. Re-plastering and skirting would then be fitted.
On the right hand pipe, I was going to remove the push on joint but I still want to have the drainage tap, so was going to re-position that at the 90 deg joint. I was planning to box this in afterwards (removable for future system drains)
Is this the way it should be done or can anyone advise a better solution to doing away with the old pipes?
Thanks in advance guys,
Ade
