Plumbing help

[Swanny]

Hi Napalm I'm a plumber/heating engineer
You could close the working radiator valve and remove the rad, then if you have the right fittings you could make up a temp drain point using the working rad valve as the drain and running a hosepipe from that. As you are probably well aware your system will be fitted to a high pressure so be careful. It's not a hard job to put it right as long as you have the right fittings, tools and understanding. If you don't have all those then you're better off calling a plumber
Good luck

Thanks for the help Swanny, as you can see I managed to get it sorted, well mostly anyway! It wasn't complicated, but i was definitely learning quickly as I went along, for example, when doing a fast swap of the drain valve, it helps if you have the lock shield bolt closed! Where the feck is all that water coming from??? Oh! Doh!

No harm done, managed to mop up all the spillages and the house appears to be in one piece!

Cheers
