Replacing radiator without draining down?

[SimonG]

but if you are wanting to change the whole of the lockshield and tvr components then draining the system is advised.

This is the bit I disagreed with. No need at all to drain a pressurised system for a job like this.

Save yourself alot of grief drain down replace the radiator and fit the new valves . Kop

Would you not need to isolate all other rads to drain only the one as they are all connected? Now I am confused lol

Sums up your lack of knowledge. Unless you know what you are doing then stop making yourself look like a tit by commenting on stuff you obviously know sweet fa about.

FYI:

Just changed a 10mm trv today. In and out in approx 20 mins, and that includes cutting old olive off as new nut doesn’t marry up to existing.
