Removing rad vogue max 32

[Handyandy68]

Hi

If I turned system off and took an old radiator off to decorate, will I need to temporarily cap it off before turning back on? I'll only need hot water for a few weeks so seems I can just turn heating dial off but didn't know if will loose pressure for hot water. Cheers. Vogue max combo 32

Close both rad valves, open bleedscrew on rad to check valves have fully closed.
Undo one end (hold valve while undoing nut so it doesn't turn), cap rad tail with 1/2" plug, repeat other end.
You'll need an old towel under joints to catch drips.
No need to drain boiler or system.

Should I turn heating dial off on system. We're not using it? Vogue max 32

Thanks again. Ideal reccomended turning the central heating setting to off. Thank you for your advice on removal Kidgreen61
