Hi
I have a couple of questions about some pipes in bathroom area. I have attached a pic to help.
I want to remove the radiator and plastic radiator tubing connected to the 22mm copper heating pipes as seen in the pic. The drain valve runs out of the pic to the outside wall. I dont want to flood the whole area so whats the best way to do this pref without draining the whole heating system down. And can I cap the 10mm copper tails or will the 22mm copper main pipes have to be replaced at these points with new sections?
And I dont understand why there is a gate valve bridging the flow heating pipes. Could someone please explain the reason for this. And to add the valve is broken anyway, it only turns but does not work and appears to be in the clsed position.
Thanks
Johno
