I'm just in the process of putting new rads and pipe work into our two bedrooms. The problem is I can't do both at once as we wouldn't have anywhere to sleep. I was thinking of comleteing one side and the refilling the system, just in case the weather changes all of a sudden and completeing the other room at my leisure. Is it acceptable practice to use isolating vales for this instance (these http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=100121&ts=62354&id=13483 but preferably full bore so as not to affect the flow?

Don't worry about them being full bore - the extra resistance is utterly insignificant - but do worry about the quality - some of the cheaper ones are prone to leak around the spindle when used on heating systems.

Very handy for putting into systems of customers who look like they might not pay.
