My ch system does not have a drain cock fitted to any of the downstairs rads.
Instead, each downstairs rad has one of these fitted.

would it be feasible to drain and flush the system through each one of these drain points after running a cleaner in the system for a few days instead of doing it through the rad valves?

would just be doing a gravity flush by the way

Thanks

Would using the valves as drain points make much difference?
Or would it be more beneficial to remove each rad and flush individually using a hose connected to the mains?
