Hi Tom Hope you doing well. Iv got a problem thought you could help. I have had problems in the past with not being able to fully drain central heating systems in customer homes. I could sometimes get a few radiators to drain upstairs but the rest are fully of water. Could this be because of air locks? I have checked the drain off valve and it’s fully open not stuck.any ideas?
Regards Sadek

Thats normal sadek, if you drain from a down stairs radiator or a low drain off, everything above will drain if you let the air in, So the upstairs rads will drain but to make it quicker, undo the air vent ( bleed key) to drain faster, The only one downstairs to drain is the one you drain from, the others can't because usually the pipe to downstairs rads come from above, and the water cannot go up to the joist level then down again , It can if it forms a syphon, but that can't happen in empty pipes and the circs will be empty,
