Can I use central heating when 1 radiator has been removed?

[Neilo]

While having some damp work done, one of my radiators has been taken off. It won't be reinstated for a couple of weeks yet, but I don't know if I can still use the "rest" of the radiators normally or if I am likely cause problems by doing so.

Any advice gladly received!

Just use it as normal. It's just like switching off a rad in a box room you aren't using.

as long as the removed rad wasnt acting as a bypass.

If its pressurised system check the pressure is still about 1.5 Bar.

Thanks.

Couple of further questions: What's a bypass?
When you say pressure do you mean the pressure on my combi boiler?
When the workmen removed it to start with it the pipes were p**sing out all over the floor, and have been intermittently ever since, until someone tightens them again...Will using the system encourage more p**sing?

Lastly, unrelated, what SHOULD the pressure be on my combi when it is "at rest" so to speak?[/i]
