Tho that won't help if leaking from the joint between the valves and the pipes. | |

This is the case, and I tried this last night but oddly it didn't isolate the radiator and the only way to stop the leak was ultimately to drain the whole system. So we're without heating until it is fixed, obviously not a massive issue at the moment but needs fixing soon! | |

II your heating has been drained down disconnect the rad valves get 2 15mm compression end caps screw them on the pipes to the rad fill your heating up you have heat untill it is fixed. How ever before you take rad valves off open them plus open the rad vent just incase all the water has not drained. | | | |

Top Tip After draining the rad as guided above... put a bowl, cup or other container under one end and then slowly lift the radiator out of its brackets by raising the other end first Wait for the last dribble of gungy black water to come out before completely unhooking rad This will save the line of black drips across the carpet as you carry radiator across the room | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Just leave the rad valves on radf tails turned off spin them round so they upside down | | | |

Ah....but if you haven't drained down the system this might be a problem Drained down system, ideal solution | | | |
