I'm in the process of replcaing the downstairs cloakroom suite on the ground floor, and the hot water pipe for the basin does not have a isolator. I read a few related questions on this forum and got the gist of what to do, but have a few questions.
So I turn the valve to shut off water to the bottom of the cylinder, Then open the hot water tap to drain the hot water.
1. Do I turn on all hot water taps in the house and drain them all? or just the one I'm changing?
I'll fit an isoltoer on it and then turn on the valve leading to the cylinder.
2. What is the best way to avoid an air lock? Do I open all hot water taps?
Any help appreciated.
