I found out some years ago, much to my annoyance, that drain cocks jam closed, I have now taken to opening the drain cocks at least once a year to stop them sticking.

Many thanks Derek, luckily I have a good working drain valve on the ground floor near the front door where I can drain into my garden shingle. This was useful as I am about to saw an old radiator out like for like so a simple job.

I never bother trying to drain a system using the drain off valve as it is always blocked so I drain the system from one valve as you showed. One tip when draining a radiator is to undo the whole bleed valve so more air gets in so it drains quicker!

good info pal watched allot of your vids , changed 4 rads and done a system clean months ago, then i find out a mate works for bloody k-rad so the last two big main rads in front and back room i can get at a massive % off so I'm defiantly changing them I'm like wtf you not tell me before lol , all rads were the old round top type years old and cant find any info on heat output unless you know?

@dereton33 8 ай бұрын

Not on them old rads They neve gave any info on heat output.

@@dereton33 lol my local plumbers said that when sorting the new rads out he said worse Psml, that’s why I know there round tops, no wonder I can’t find outputs

Quick question: in a combi or unvented system where do you add the inhibitor once the system has been drained?

@davehunter6920 8 ай бұрын

inject it thro the filling loop

@@davehunter6920 I see, thanks! I wasn't sure if that was safe or if I should just isolate a rad & funnel it in though the top..

@dereton33 8 ай бұрын

You can do it that way as well.

Occasionally I need my rubber bungs for my tank and can never find where I have put them. But then when I am looking for something else for a completely different job I find the rubber bungs 🙂 I should really keep them in the attic near the tank.

That's a great idea!
