Thanks again John :D So I need to: 1. Put tray under old lockshield valve. 2. Slacken union nut. 3. Drain water into tray until it stops flowing Would the above drain both the pipework and the rad or would I need to open the vent valve in order to empty the rad? Thanks very much...

Hi John, thanks for your reply. Is there any easy way to fit these lock shield valves that incorporate drain off cocks? I mean, the drops and rads will still be full of water. Cheers

Hi all, I've recently helped a friend remove some 'dead legs' from the radiator circuit on an open vented system. In order to carry out the above work we needed to partially drain down the heating system (upstairs only). Question, do we need to add any inhibitor when refilling the system...

Thanks for your help chaps 8)

Bump :lol: I guess you guys must be busy but any advice would be greatly appreciated :wink:

Hi Guys, Just a quick question. When plumbing a cold feed for a dishwasher, do I need to use a check valve (and if so would a single check valve suffice)? Many thanks.
