Or ought else?

Depending on the design, there is often a gate valve somewhere near tehe
tank (or possibly from cold cylinder to tank) that you can turn off
(recognisable by round pressed-steel handle). Or you can sometimes put a
rubber bung in the bottom of the cold tank, in the pipe that feeds the
hot cylinder.

and another bung in the vent pipe will save needing to drain the content
of the feed pipe though the cylinder as well.
