Hi,
First time doing this so it's all new to me. Need to remove a radiator as re-plastering the walls and changing the skirting. One end of the radiator is has a TRV valve, which i've taken off and fitted a decorator's cap. This seems to have isolated the radiator that end as it no longer gets hot. The other end has a normal valve with a cap screwed on. The cap won't turn so I unscrewed it to reveal a head that looks a little different to the head on some videos I watched. I unscrewed a gold nut and and then using a spanner the head wouldn't tighten clockwise any more but would loosen a few turns. This seemed odd as I presumed it should be open to let water run through. Based on the pictures
Can I assume the valve was closed and if i turn it back clockwise as much as I can the radiator will be shut off and I can lift it off and drain it?
It worth fitting a couple of nuts anyway to the end of the connectors as the radiator will be off the wall for while just in case?
Thanks
