Combi Boilers
I want to loosen a radiator and turn it horizontal to apply wallpaper
behind it, are there any problems in doing this with a sealed, pressurized system ? Regards Bigal |

Only that if you let out too much water, you may lose a little pressure and need to top up afterwards. See the sealed system FAQ if you need details on how to do that: http://www.makewrite.demon.co.uk/SealedCH.html -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

It is, if the olive that connects the TRV to the 15mm pipe is faulty .... still, I got a new carpet out of it ! Honestly - why do you need to turn it horizontally ? You just need to move it away sufficiently from the wall to paper - the less movement, the better -- geoff |
