Hi all,
I've got 4 new radiators to fit to replace some existing, but they will all need either new pipework, or at least some modifications on the piping due to different styles.
I'm competent, albeit not the quickest DIY plumber thus as i've got a worcester bosch Greenstar 37cdi combi boiler, when i drain the system down it will knock out the hot water too to taps and shower.
So that got me thinking, is it an acceptable solution to cut the flow and return within, lets say 5ft of the boiler before they get to the first radiator, and effectively connect them with a temporary pushfit flexi hose flexi hose so allowing me to re-pressurize the system, and then remove/reconnect, once i'm completed ?
Or is there a better solution with some sort of diverters that can be just turned, perhaps ?
Or is the answer to simply work faster !!!
Hope this makes sense and TIA
