got to take out 2 old rads and install new chrome ones in different positions. the heating system is gravity fed. there are no drain off valves anywhere. rather than drain down the system im thinking of cutting through the small bore pipe ( very quickly ) and installing 4 push fit isolating valves so i can then work on the pipework. bit messy i know. can you guys tell me if there is an easier way. thanks

Put 1 bung on the vent - the pipe that hangs over the small tank in the loft.
Then stuff the other in the hole in the bottom of the said tank.
Shut valves on rads being removed and drain water out of rads into a suitable container.
Then put your iso valves on in place of the valves or just keep valves shut.

get a self tapping drain off. use that to drain the system and replace it with as proper drain off once its emtptied. this will make life easier next time you have to drain it.
