Hi,
This may be an incredibly stupid question so apologies if it is!
I’m planning to refit my bathroom soon & part of it is to fit a towel radiator. I’ve got an ancient Glow-worm combi & I know I need to drain the central heating system while I do the necessary pipework. Problem is, I don’t seem to have any drain point on any radiators upstairs or downstairs (unless its been conveniently hidden under the floor somewhere). There’s one radiator downstairs in the kitchen that has a twin entry valve, is it possible to drain the system by removing the blank plug at the other end? My theory was to shut off the radiator, drain it through the other end, then open the valve slightly & allow the system to drain that way. I appreciate it could take a long time & I’d only have to be careful to open it very slightly to control the flow out but I don’t have any other ideas.
Or is that complete rubbish & there’s a much easier, obvious way?
Thanks very much.
