Hi all, sorry if this has been answered before but I tried to look back but couldn't find any posts. Anyway
I am a competant DIY'r & can manage general plumbing jobs myself.
I have a sealed CH system - Worcester Highflow 400 RSF, Basically I need to change a radiator in the downstairs cloackroom but is a different size to existing one. So I need to drain the system to change the piping & valves.
Can I just turn off the CH flow & return valves, attach a hosepipe to the draincock at the lowest point and rain away?
Is it just as simple to refill once completed. Can I just open these 2 valves and then refill the pipes& radiators up again?
I know I will have to open the vent valves on the radiators when draining & refilling.
Any advice & tips would be greatly appreciated as I need to do this asap.
Many thanks, Jim
