Hello All So today at the castle, yes the castle, I need to drain down as I had to remove 4 rad from upstairs & can 4 pipes. On draining down the towel rad drained perfect but the rads didn't. I've had this before but I'm not sure why. Any thoughts please? Luckily I didn't need to drain the ground floor. Here is the castle. I'm going back to first fix some pipes in the walls, toilet, rad.  |

Hi Rocket to drain the rads you need to make sure both valves are open and then open the bleed screw, If the air can't get in, the water can't get out, To drain a bottom rad you need to drain off each rad seperatly from its own drain off, If it had not got one, you have to take it off full or undo one side and drain in a tray, where there any corgies there ?

Well Rocket I would of loved a look around that abode if I was closer - it must have a cellar with a few tunnels attached surely?
