When we gutted our bathroom earlier this year, I had to cut and cap off the feed and return to the rad so both the rad and the piping to it could cleared out the way.
I'm now about to start on the new plumbing, and of course my labelling of the two heating pipes has disappeared. The system runs off a combi boiler in the kitchen, and it's impossible to trace the pipe run back either visually or by knocking on it.
The only way I can think of to identify which is which is to connect the two pipes by a length of hosepipe, turn on the heating and hope to feel which pipe heats up first. Either that or instal the new rad, pipe it up (50% chance of getting it right!) and if my luck's out, cross the pipes over somewhere out of sight.
Anybody got a better idea?
