This plumbing guide teaches how to remove a radiator for decorating or painting, using two methods: draining water from the radiator and turning the thermostatic valve. To remove a radiator, follow the step-by-step guide, which includes turning off heating, turning off valves, and draining the radiator.
To prepare, turn off your heating system, unscrew any retaining screws, prepare for water, and slacken the union nut. Turn off the heating system, protect the floor underneath, and close the radiator valves. Isolate the radiator, drain the radiator, loosen the other valve, disconnect the valves, and lift the radiator off.
Use an adjustable wrench to unscrew the cap nut at the point where the radiator connects to the valve and turn it counterclockwise until it starts to drip water. Turn off your heating system, isolate the radiator, drain the radiator, loosen the other valve, disconnect the valves, and lift it off.
After removing the radiator, you can use a bowl to catch water and paint the walls or ceilings behind it. Good preperation is essential to prevent damage to lower ceilings and walls. The guide also includes an overview of the radiator and its components, as well as instructions on how to safely and effectively remove a radiator for decorating.
