Re hanging two radiators

[keithroche]

Hi y'all,
Need advice on re hanging two radiators I took off to plaster behind. Never done it before so what are the main steps to getting them working again I have a potterton combi 80 boiler.
Many thanks
Keith

er...thanks?

To be honest just needed straight forward advice on refilling / pressure / etc.,. or things to make sure or watch out for.


Cheers

did you drain down ?

hang the rads
make the valves off
open the valves
bleed rads
top up pressure
bleed rads again
top up pressure 1.2 COLD

If your still not sure try and find a mate or colleague at work who has done this before.....it's the same procedure for all combi's I believe.......I like to use a little PTFE tape on the radiator threads to prevent weeping.

Cheers for that.

Many thanks for all your help.
