Hi
I have recently removed 2 radiators when decorating, turning off the manual and lockshield valves and allowing the remainder of the system to function as normal (i did not switch off or drain the heating).
I now need to reconnect the rads and had planned to do this in the usual way (opening the control valve to fill, releasing air via the bleed valve and then opening the lockshield valve).
However, I have previous experience with a combi boiler whereby I would then have topped up the pressure in the system via the connected tap. In this case I have a system comprising a traditional Baxi Solo 50/4 RS boiler and a Copperfoam Direct mains combination tank. I am assuming that if I refit the 2 rads and let the system fill them up, the pressure will be regulated via cold water being added to the system via the combination tank automatically and all I will need to do is bleed the remaining rads in the usual way?
I would be grateful if someone could confirm that this is the case as I would refer not to do any lasting damage!!
Cheers
