hi all

i have recently moved house and the new home has an avacodo bathroom suite which just has to go. i am currently removing all the tiles etc and am a little stumped about the radiator.

i have removed rads before, in my old house, but this ran on a gravity feed system. the new House has a Worcestor 240 combi RSF Boiler which is a pressurised system.

I need to remove the rad for a while to re-tile. to do this i intented to turn of the valves and lift out the rad, as with the old system.

What i need to know is when i replace it how do i refill the radiator as there is no header tank to let water into the system from.?
Also do i need to shut down the boiler sytem to remove the radiator?
and will this type of system run with one radiator missing from the loop?

Just refit the rad as before, bleed it and then top up the system via the filling loop - disconnecting the filling loop afterwards.

No, but I'd blank the rad valves if you are going to run the heating.

Yes
