Rad Removal - Do I need to drain down?

Hi Ian,

Thanks for replying. The reason I ask about this, is we moved a rad in the past, from one side of the room to the other, and it was only getting warm at the bottom. A heating engineer came in and explained this bypass was still in the old location, so he removed it, and put a new one in under the floor directly under the new postion of the radiator. Made sense in my IT Engineer brain ;)
No doesntma make any sense, you spoke of joining the two pipes together, that IS a bypass, all radiaters when both valeves are open are all a bypass, the only time a bypass is required is when all the radiators and HW valves are closed to allow circulation, but modern systems do not require a by-pass
