Urgent help - pipe not connected to stopcock?

[Louis.]

I've turned off my stopcock and drained all the system. I'm wanting to remove a capped pipe which comes from the airing cupboard presumably from the old boiler. It's now on a combi.

I've started to cut the pipe but now it's dripping and has not stopped. I've not cut all the way through it.

I can't turn off the water outdoors but why wouldn't my internal one just shut down all water?

What can I do?

Maybe a heating pipe if so turning mains off will not help.iritis heating iswill stop once the heating looses pressure

I'm draining the radiators down now to see if this stops the leak

It was a rad pipe. Crisis averted, cheers!

Usually the only way to identify what a pipe's purpose is will be by following it and see where it comes from.

All my previous investigation and led to it being mains water related. Atleast we are sorted now!
