Default Radiator Removal

My mum has a small room with two radiators in, don't know why they were in
when she bought it. One radiator is permantly switched off, the room gets
more than 'comfortable' with the other one on. We think the previous owner
made wine, beer or something similar. My question is, can I remove the
radiator and cap the pipes off under the floor? The radiators are T'd off
the main pipe run. I think the answer is Yes but I just thought I'd run it
by you lot first as a check.

Cheers

John

Yes, that's fine. Cap off as near to the tees as possible - or even replace
the tees with straight connectors - in order to avoid long stub pipes which
might trap air.

You will, of course, have to drain the system - at least partially - to do
this work.
