no drain vavle on radiators

[martinseal]

evening, my problem is I had to remove some floor boards (chipboard) in my new house, I noticed after going to put them back in there was a leak in one of the pipes around where the 22mm pipe tees off into the 15mm and goes to a radiator. I have looked at all my radiators and there are no drain valves. How will I fix the pipe?????????????????????????????????????

Many thanks

Have a look under the floor for it.

try and think of the obvious place and with luck bingo, look for traps in the floor

many thanks

Look on the flow or return pipe from the boiler, you should find one there

Not saying you have one but it will be a standard draincock if you have.

Although we used to put a gate valve under the floor and run a pipe out through the wall, great if you knew it was there.

Best clue will be any traps in the floor indicating the plumber or sparkie was under there
