removing radiator

[legendhowes]

whilst trying to remove a radiator in my front room, i turned the thermostat off and the lock shield clockwise. I found there was still water coming out of the pipe when i went to take it off.
Does any 1 know the cause or whether ive missed something, i took the radiator off in a bedroom with no problem

even with both valves turned off the rad will still be full of pressurised water

the waters coming out of the pipe that connects to the radiator even with thermostat off

Then the TRV is goosed then, you will have to drain the system and replace the TRV is it an open vented system or a sealed system ?

 

[legendhowes]

its a sealed system

 

[ianmcd]

then just get a basin or bucket and release all the system pressure from the bleed point in the radiator until it stops running , wont be a lot than change the TRV for one of the same size, you will get some water coming out but shouldnt be a lot
