Hi all,
I'm a DIYnot newbie with a little knowledge of plumbing, so please treat me gently! I've tried to gen myself up with a bit of knowledge, but if I get the terminology incorrect then please excuse me...
I've searched these forums, but cannot find a definitive answer for my question(s).
We have dual entry Microbore (8mm) radiator valves entering the left hand side of all the radiators in our house. I'd like to replace the radiator in the bathroom with a towel rail ladder, so I have a few questions.
Do towel radiators (or new radiators) have to use TRV's? If not, can I use the existing dual entry valve and blank off the other end of the towel radiator?
I know it would be more efficient to move one of the pipes to the other end of the radiator and use TRV's. Maybe I'm trying to achive things in a half-arsed fashion. I'd just like to know if it's possible to use the existing valve?
To be honest, our heating system does not suffer from any blockage (that I know of), but I suppose it may be a good thing to get it flushed?
Cheers!
Trick.
