I currently have a towel rail plumbed into the central heating system in my bathroom; I want to replace it with a radiator and preferably without having to drain the system.
The towel rail goes straight into the two valves which are installed vertically the distance between the centres of the two valves is 460mm so I figure that I need a 400mm wide radiator installed with a right angled inlet valve and right angled lockshield valve both with adjustable tails.
Given that conclusion is accurate can I install them into the existing valves or do I need to remove the existing valves completely?
If I need to remove them before installing the new ones is it feasible to use a pipe freezing kit so as to avoid draining down?
Any help and guidance much appreciated.
