I isolated and drained a radiator to remove it to carry out repairs to my property.
The valve however is now leaking at the point it joins the 20mm copper pipe that comes up through the floor at the thermostatic valve end. So I need to remove this valve, replace or reapply plumbing tape.
The radiator is on the top floor if that makes a difference and none of my rads have a drain on them.
Do I simply tie up the the floating arm/turn off the valve to the header tank and then let that volume of water pass through the valve until the flow stops? Then I can carry out the repair?
Its an old non-combi boiler. I have a hot water cylinder and a header tank in the loft...
Thanks
