Dear All
I am looking for suggestions as to the best place to fit drain cocks on the central heating system.
All downstairs radiators are fed from pipes from the floor above. Currently there is one drain cock fitted in the kitchen but this does not allow me to fully drain the system - there is water left in all other downstairs rads and the feed and return pipes to them.
Should all downstairs radiators have drain cocks fitted to them and on what side of the radiator should they be fitted - on the flow or return pipework?
Is there anyway of installing a single draincock to completely drain the system, and if so where should it be fitted?
The central heating system uses a convential gas boiler with pump and expansion tank in the loft.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
