taking a radiator off

Hi once I have taken a radiator off can I have the others that I have not taken off on or is that not possible.
Thanks

If you cap pipes all ok or leave rad valves in place and turned off then others will work fine

Turn them on - not a problem at all

With the TRV top off, fit a decorating cap - this keeps the valve fully off. Essential to stop the water flow! On the other end, turn the lockshield valve fully off. You can then drain the radiator down - catching the water in a shallow tray, and then remove it completely.

if you dont have the decorating cap , turn the valve off , drain rad into a builders rubble bag (easier to get around pipes and catch the water) then get a 15mm female iron blanking cap and fit it onto the open trv end.
