You'll need to find the Vlaves in the F&R serving the area you wish to drain, isolate the section you may need to cut and cap off the heating mains if there are no valves in the right place, it's no diffrent to a domestic system it's just bigger!

There is a pipe underground leaking going to the radiator. Instead of digging concrete. I want to drain the radiators and then stop water going to the radiators but allow water to the toilets thou .
Is there any way of cutting the water off to the radiators only. This is a factory thou

So you're just going to drain your heating system and leave your radiators turned off forever?

Im moving to new factory so it would be temporary cut off but it will be difficult to find the feed and return never mind valves where will they be located

Look at the "As Fitted" drawings in the O&M Manuals??
Oh and while your at it check the Site Asbestos Register - very common for Asbestos to be used to lag pipes on older industrial jobs, and it is Illegal to disturb said asbestos!!

Where will the valves be for the radiators in this factory. Someone said the by the boiler would that be right?
