Flushing sealed c/h system through filling loop

[CAESAR32]

Hey is the correct way of flushing a sealed c/h system through the filling loop. To take one rad off connect hose to one valve and place in a drain. Turn all rads off bar one the open the filling loop so that water will flow through the one rad that is open then out the hose I have connected to the rad. I have took off? Thanks for any advice

Thank you my only problem is I don't realy have an accesable outside tap to get mains in to the system. Can I use the filling loop to do this?

 

[CAESAR32]

Could I use the same method but use the filling loop to add the water or would that not work?

wouldn't the filling loop flush the water through the system the same as if connecting mains to a rad valve?

 

[kevplumb]

right listen son

unless you close an isolator on the freakin boiler it aint gonna work

 

[CAESAR32]

I was planning on isolating the boiler on the boiler valves. So will the filling loop be ok to add the water through?

 

[kevplumb]

yup
then yer boiler valves will leak
and if yer aint fast on your toes yer will have a rad go west
it aint a one man job son
