Hi All
I would like to put thermostatic valves onto my rads at home but I can't easily drain the system as there is no drain in the house (the previous owners liked cutting corners).
We have one large rad downstairs with the 2 feed pipes which are coming through the floor and surface mounted. I was thinking of using a self cutting tap to clamp onto the pipe and drain the water from downstairs, Ie that should drain the others upstairs.
First of all, is this feasible? Secondly, I want to put something in place permanently so can easily drain if needed again. I have seen the drain valves but can't see a thermo one, so what would you suggest is the best permanent solution for this?
Cheers. Karl
