Hey All,
I am currently decorating my Livingroom and as part of my work I am stripping wallpaper. I need/want to remove the two radiators so I can remove the wallpaper behind them. I know I could turn the water off, drain the system, remove the radiators from the wall, strip the wallpaper, and then remount radiators and turn water back on.
However I know you can unmount the radiators without turning the water off but I am having a few problems that I hope you can help with.
If I look at my radiators:
The LEFT HAND valve is just that - a valve - I assume for allowing the water to flow in or out.
The RIGHT HAND valve has the thermostat valve.
I have turned the left hand valve off and the Thermostat valve is set to 0/off.
However when I tried tio drain the radiator at the top the water was still firing out (with pressure) after about 5mins so I am not doing something right.
Can anyone tell me which schoolboy error I am making or missing?
Cheers
Col
