Replacing a radiator and Valves

[PatBoySlim]

Hi All,

I need to replace a radiator in the kitchen, the 10mm copper has split so using this opertunaty to replace it with a towel one and also need to remove both valves and make the pipes shorter.

Its a gravity fed system and the last radiator in the system , I have a bung kit, i know i can cut the feed pipe into the radiator st there will be a vacuum, but does this also apply to the pipe/valve on the return/drain side ?

a towel rad will not heat the kitchen.

That’s a fairly bold statement with no knowledge of any sizes or construction methods!!!
