Hi All,
I live in a bungalow and have cenral heating system run by a combi boiler.
I'd like to move a rad.in the living room but on the pipe in the loft,to the rad.there is what i would call a relief valve,pictured below.This is the last rad in the system
My questions
1.Can i just cut this line and put an end stop,and pick up a feed nearer to where i want to put the rad.
2.Break the line and put in elbow and continue run to new position.
3.Take this valve back to the next rad feed.

Hope this makes sense.I have no problems moving rad.,pipework etc.as have done before,but not come across this.
Many Thanks
Brian

thats an automatic air vent _.

usually fitted on the high point of the pipework to release trapped air
