I recently posed a question about rearranging my bathroom, and a few posters were kind enough to contribute. Whilst considering my options, (which obviously include "leaving things as they are") I want to replace my old B and Q box radiator with a nice new chrome towel rad. The new rad will probably remain in position no matter what I decide to do with the bathroom layout.
My current rad is 60cm wide, and I'm going to go for the same width in the new unit. I'm hoping I can do a straight swap without having to move any pipework and drain the system, but if this isn't possible, what are my options? I've heard of pipe freezing kits, but are there any other methods of isolating pipework in order to extend/remodel valves and pipes without draining the entire system? The radiator pipework is 10mm microbore copper.
Thanks.
