I want to remove a radiator so that I can strip and replace the wall paper behind it. Unfortunately, it looks as though the thermostatic valve won't shut right down, so rather than draining the radiator, I drain the system :-(
So, it looks as though I need to change the valve, and initial thoughts were to drain the system down before doing the job, but I was wondering how well the pipe freezing stuff works, could I use it to allow me to drain off the radiator, remove it, then replace the valve ?
TIA
