RSS Feeder · 05-03-2008

I'd be grateful for some advice on replacing a central heating radiator valve (TRV). Different guides I've found have said different things.Do I need to drain the central heating system? It's heated by a "normal" (non combi) boiler. If not (and I hope not), will the water I drain from the radiator be replaced automatically, i.e. is there an inlet into the system somewhere?Any tips, tricks appreciated. I'm reasonably capable, but have not done any central heating plumbing before.The valve is at the bottom of the radiator.
