Gravity fed radiator

[James rd]

About 20 years ago I had a Rayburn coal fire back burner installed that fed radiators throughout the house. I believe as it's a coal fire, a gravity fed radiator was installed on the hot water supply to the spiral coil that's inside the hot water tank. I think this was in case excessive heat built up from the coal fire as a safety measure, it would warm the gravity fed radiator. Then a few years ago, the coal fire was replaced by a floor standing oil fed burner. The gravity fed radiator is in a small bedroom and never gets hot since the oil burner has been installed.

Therefore, the question is, can I do away with the gravity fed radiator and put that on the same pipe work as the other radiators in the house, or do I have to change anything else to make it safe?

Thanks for your help

No, all the oil burner was a strength swop for the coal back burner none of the pipe work was change

Yes I sill have the hot tank. Nothing was changed on only the coal fire to a oil burner

Nothing of the pipe work was change, the hot tank is still on the gravity system. The only thing that was change was the coal back burner for a oil boiler
