I put mine in the cellar - the lowest point. Then realised you very rarely
need to drain down the entire system completely. So fitted one to a rad
convenient for outside access. That drains the system down sufficiently
for most things.

Yes, I'm putting my new one about a foot from the back door.

Assuming you have a rad in that room, why not a combination gate
valve/drain point. With some hose to get it outside.
