Came home to find a 'burst' radiator (water spewing from a very small, but nevertheless annoying, hole).
Have checked the system as best as possible - appears to be 'y type' or similar, so have set the boiler to provide hot water only and no heat, as it doesn't seem possible to turn off both valves on the radiator.
Should I attempt to drain the radiator to stop the plug we have over the hole popping off and more damage being done?
[Should I drain the system for the above reason too?]
Or will the water level in the rad settle (the hole is fairly high up, one of the 'small' radiators about 14in high) and therefore nothing needs doing until the workperson appointed by the landlady arrives?
Cheers!
