Removing a rad for ever and ever

[pc1]

Great forum...struggled finding some decent advice for removing a radiator until i googled this site.
Just wanted to confirm what i am doing will be correct, hope it is as i've searched first. Radiator has been removed, just leaving the pipes sticking out of the floorboards.

1. Switch off and drain system (combi..Alpha 500e)
2. Saw piping (after removing floorboards)
3. Fit 'stoppers' either 'Endfeed' or 'Conex' fittings.
4. Repressurise using 'Filling loop' (may have a key) upto just over 1 bar.
5. Replace floorboards.
6. Sit back relax, smoke a cigar.

Sounds ok?
Cheers..
Pete
