Hi everyone,

I want to change a rad in my diningroom from an old long single rad to a new double but shorter in length. My boiler is a combi : worcester/bosch 35cdi. Can I remove the old rad and then by using the rad valves drain off the pressure so it stops coming out, then cutting the pipe feeds to reconfigure the pipe length to reconnect to the new rad. If I do this will it drain all of the water out of the boiler ? . And I'm guessing that I would then need to refill using the filling loop to obtain a working pressure of at least 1.5 Bar. Can anyone please advise.
