Hi
I know that there is guidance on the DIYFAQ, which I have read, but there was something else that I wanted to ask.
I have a sealed CH system which has been completely drained - the water supply has been isolated - electrical power is off - all air vents have been opened and all the TRVs and lockshields has been opened. To the best of my knowledge the system is empty.
I know that there is still the chance to have some water in the bottom of the radiators and so I will need to take care when removing them.
I also appreciate that I will need to add the correct concentration of Fernox Protector when the system is refilled.
With reference to the attached picture I understand that I can disconnect the TRV at the connection pointed to by the red arrow - it is then a matter of pulling the 15mm pipe plus the valve back to get the radiator out.
However is there any downside to disconnecting at the connection pointed to by the green arrow then lifting the radiator plus TRV ( and lockshield ) clear from the wall and pipe work ?
Many thanks in advance.
