Hi,
I have an old style boiler that only lets me have my hot water and heating on together, and not either or in isolation. In the Summer months, I'd like hot water but no need for the radiators to heat up.
I figured the best way to achieve this is to turn off each radiator around my flat using the valves at the bottom of the radiators (no thermostats).
Each radiator has a valve at both the bottom left and the bottom right. Unsure of which ones to turn, I did some research but ran into a lot of conflicting information.
Which valves would I turn, the one to the left, right or both? How many turns (or till the valve doesn't turn anymore with the plyers)?
Many thanks,
James.
