help flushing central heating pipes

[b21playa]

Ive run the pipes for all th heating, will fit radiators on Saturday.

Before i get it connected to the boiler, how can I flush it by running water through it, I want to do this to check for leaks as well as flushing any debris out

What thinking somehow of connecting a water supply to the 22m via my hosepipe, and then puting a drain outlet on the other 22mm and flush it thru another piece of hose pipe to the drain

Many thanks

Your 2 new 22mm flow/return pipes need to be linked together then connected to your main via a hose pipe, cap off all your tails to your rads normally using 15mm pushfit blanks or stop ends. Fill your system from the cold main to check for leaks.

thanks all

managed to sort it in the end.

All was fine apart from me missing one join, and a leaking 22mm elbow. Now alll rectified. Ive filled and drained the system around 4 times now so all debris should be clear. Will do it again with hot water.
