Hi all,
We're renovating our downstairs bathroom, and the missus wants the radiator moving. I'm confident in doing this myself, but I have one question about draining down. First of all, let me set the scene. We have a Worcester Bosch Greenstar Combi. I've been under the floor to check the rad pipes that feed the rad, they're plastic, and it only seems to have a feed and return. Should there not be a "bypass" (I don't know the correct term) in case the rad is turned off? It is possible that this is in the wall, below the rad, as I am yet to take a look in there due to it being tiled.
My main question is; do I need to drain the whole system down to temporarily remove this radiator whilst decorating, and moving its location? Or can I turn off all the radiators, then remove and connect the feed and return, to keep the rest of the system working whilst we're decorating the bathroom?
I hope I'm making sense...
