Hi All
Now i know this topic has been posted a hundred times but im still not clear on everything, so thought id check and clarify my plan...
So im no plumbing expert but am confident i have enough DIY skills to do this myself.
Firstly I understand i have to drain down the CT system before i start.
I assume this involves turning the stopcock, turn off the boiler (i have a combi so no water tank) then draining water from the rads. (i have no drainage valve) am i right in thinking i will only have to partially drain the system as its an upstairs radiator therefore the water will drain to the lower half?
secondly the existing pipework is 10mm and most of the towel rails are 15mm so i intend to cut/adjust the pipes under the floorboards to fit the size/width and then use a 10-15mm reducer to change the pipe - Will this be ok?
Finally top the boiler back up via the filling loop and job done!
Am i missing anything?
Thanks in advance!
