    Flange Hinge Compression adjustment

    Central Heating Drain Valve

    Hi, I need to drain down my system and put some descaler in for a few days then drain again and add inhibitor. I have taken the radiator that was blocked off completely and successfully removed blockage using a garden hose. Its an open system fed from a tank in the loft. I'm unsure...
