Calling all experts. Can you help. I've read numerous posts about this topic but still not 100% best way to tackle it.
I need to replace leaking radiator valve and at same time fit drain valve.
I can't find any isolating valves either side of the pump on my combi boiler (Potterton Performa 24).
Can I use a self cutting tap on the pipework to drain down? One like this

Or would it best to remove and drain one radiator and then get some attachment with hose (any suggestions on attachment) and open rad valve and drain down.
Any comments would be greatfully received. Im not doing anything until Im 100% sure.
