I want to permanently remove a radiator from my central heating system, it's a fairly new system with plastic speed-fit pipe work throughout. I've searched other threads but can't find anything relevant to plastic pipe work. Question is: is it ok to just remove the Rad and then cap the flow and...
I've just been given the hot and cold water services plan of a new house that I'm buying. On the diagram are terms such as Drop T/B, Rise F/B, Drop F/A and Rise T/A. I'm struggling to work out their meaning, can anyone help.

Sorry about this but I made a bit of a cock up on the original drawing. Both the F&E and vent pipes are connected to the return line and not as previously shown.

Oilhead and Mysteryman. Thanks for your positive approach and advice.
The OCV isn't moving far, out of the old cupboard next to the AGA and then into the replacement cupboard. At the moment the Handwheel fire valve is connected to the Thermostatic FV which is connected directly to the OCV...
Several of you have made quite a few assumptions re my ability/qualifications without addressing my question.
Is it a tapered or straight fitting that is required.
I'm having a new kitchen fitted and the AGA control valve needs to be re sited. I wish to use new oil fittings all round and want to get them in before work starts but, I'm having trouble identifying the oil input port connection size. It's probably 1/4" BSP but not sure if it's tapered or...
