For all you Plumbers Out there or People in the “Know” !!
I need to remove a Rad, Its the first one on the System Loop (Clockwise).
Do I need to “Bridge” the “Up Pipes” after removal as not to break the direction of Water Travel or do I just “Cap” them and the Water Travels the Loop Anti-Clockwise and stop at the Gap !
Taking in to consideration that the entire Loop will still be intact (Boiler/Emersion on same section) as the Water Feed to Bathroom is connected “Mid Loop” and direct to the Boiler. (picture the figure “8” a gap in it).
Well if you try closing the valve on the rad in question, turn on the heating & the others still heat up then it should be OK to cap it, if on the otherhand they stay cold then you’ll need to put a loop in.
That happens,(System works) but what Im thinking of is becouse the Emersion and the Boiler are on a part of the Loop that comes nowhere near the Rad in question then am I right in thinking that the removal of the Rad will not effect the Water Travel where the Hot Water feed is concerned with the Taps Bathroom and Kitchen ??
