Hi, we have removed a radiator in order to decorate behind it. We turned the lockshield valve off fine, but the other end has a thermostatic valve, which we turned to OFF thinking this would cut off the supply to the radiator.
However now the radiator is removed, there is still water coming from this valve, I realise now from looking at the forum that turning the TRV to OFF doesn't necessarily cut off the supply.
My question is, should we just allow the system to fully drain, (we have no stop ends available) or should we somehow try and turn the TRV off? Boiler is turned off etc. If we allow the system to drain how do we go about refilling it when the rad is back on?
