Hiya,

Ive got a drain off valve where if I connect the drain off hose to it, the end of which when put outside or into a bucket is higher than the drain off valve.

So if Im lucky I get a little trickle and the rest just sits in the hose. Gravity cant do its business and seems like I can never fully empty this rad.

What other options do I have to force drain these rads?

Syphon.

Get water flowing and then open up the grid and put the hose down as far it will go without sitting in the **** at the bottom...
