Hi,
I'm replacing a radiator - mounting the new one in a new position.
The new pipework is in place - ready to connect. I was going to drain the sealed combi-boiler system but there's no drain cock and most of the pipe is under the floorboards so finding a lowest point is going to be awkward.
So instead, I'm going to freeze the pipes (having closed the rad valves), cut and attach to the two new pipes to the new rad.
However, should I freeze each pipe in two places and cut between them or should I freeze each pipe in just one place and cut on the valve side of that point?
Thanks.
