When removing a rad do you, as a rule...

[Goldspoon]

Empty all water from rad into a drip tray/bucket

or

Use tray to catch spillages but "bung" rad holes with something quickly (hence water is carried outside within rad for emptying).

I have a big towel heater to do and was just curious as to what peeps generally do...

 

[Breesey]

Close the valves and drain it in situ, then remove.

 

[JohnD]

and turn it upside down to carry out.

valve holes are then at the top so water and sludge will not fall out.

 

[giblets]

And have a can of carpet cleaner very handy!!!

 

[Mushybees]

Dustsheet down, tray under each valve. Open and shove thumbs in to stop water, take outside to empty.
Done! (just like Gordon Ramsey)

That's if it's a smallish rad mind. If it's a big'n i'll drain it down.
