Hi y'all,
Need advice on re hanging two radiators I took off to plaster behind. Never done it before so what are the main steps to getting them working again I have a potterton combi 80 boiler.
Many thanks
Keith

To be honest just needed straight forward advice on refilling / pressure / etc.,. or things to make sure or watch out for.

Cheers

If your still not sure try and find a mate or colleague at work who has done this before.....it's the same procedure for all combi's I believe.......I like to use a little PTFE tape on the radiator threads to prevent weeping.
