Valves for isolating flow and return to radiators?

[WhydidIstart]

As part of a slow renovation of an old property several radiators in one section of the house require renewing / relocating and there will be an additional radiator fitted. I would like to isolate this section of the heating so the rest of the house can still be heated and have hot water (combi boiler so needs pressure in the heating system for hot water).

Is draining and installing valves in the flow and return pipes feeding this area a good idea or could it cause problems? If not, what valves would you recommend please? I was thinking of full bore quarter-turn ball valves as I find these shut off fully and don’t take up too much space.

Its a good idea..... it means that you can remove the rads later - for decorating or whatever - with the minimum of fuss. You can also have some rads commissioned, and some not. Just top up the inhibitor every time a rad is shifted.

Great, thanks Burnerman John, that's exactly what I was thinking. Would you be happy with something like this?

I'm sure they will be fine.....as it happens I used Screwfix 29088, Pegler and British Gas approved. Excellent gear, and with my project they were under a suspended timber floor.
