Thanks for the replies! Jeez you guys are quick.

You couldn't tell me why I don't need to link them together could you?
Surely there will be no water flow back to the boiler if there is a gap in
the system? I'm sure there is something I don't understand.

Thanks again

It's a flow and return system and looks a bit like this (ascii art(!)
follows)



____________

Return


So you can see removing one rad doesn't stop the others from working
