I have been replacing 25yr old microbore with 15mm copper following a leaky manifold.
With help from the people here and a few weeks of practice soldering in the garage I am feeling pretty smug when I look at my handywork. Not 100% professional but it is all is pretty neat, secure and the rads all get hot.
I realise there will be residues of flux etc in the new pipework so I flushed the system with running water for about 15 mins before filling.
My question is about the next steps. Is it to run the heating for a couple of weeks, drain then refill with inhibitor, or should I be doing some additional task?
Not sure if it is a pertinent point but my boiler is a Baxi 105e.
Thanks in advance.
