Default service valve in heating system

Mike wrote:
I need to remove a radiator, dry line the wall then fit new diferent
shaped radiator a few days later. To save draining down twice id like to
fit a pair of service valves in the pipes leading to the new rad whilst
I do the dry lining and other work.

My question is. Is it acceptable to use normal service valved and leave
them in the system?

Why drain twice? If your radiators have valves on both ends already just
close those and leave them attached to the pipe ends.
