If i was to rip out a bath,and disconect the taps and decided i need to go out to get some thing would i fit a brass end stop on the end with an olive etc to make it safe.This is what they dont tell you at college
Welcome to the forum. Although you can post in any forum, the USA forum is here in case of local regs or laws
College told us to fit isolation valves on a bath anyway that was part of are assignment.but we went in the from scratch it wasn't a situation ie your on a job do you cap of etc that's something college didn't tell us.we had to fit them to sink and toiletyes you could do that. if on the other hand you were replacing the bath with another one for instance you could fit isolators to the pipes which would facilitate working on the taps in the future.
no if sealed system, drop pressure, isolate rad at l/s and snatch it, have sone towels ready 🙂If I had to change a trv in an upstairs bedroom would you drain the whole system,bearing in mind I don't have a freezing kit yet lol
wuss lolJust drain to below the rad your working on. Waste of inhibitor to drain full system if you don't need to
So drop pressure on combi ,lock the shield valve and snatch it?lol wow tricky if the valve doesn't come straight off lolno if sealed system, drop pressure, isolate rad at l/s and snatch it, have sone towels ready 🙂
I think Kyle is playing safewuss lol
oh I will do loland always keep a spare t shirt in the van lol
suppose its down to experience, try it 🙂I think Kyle is playing safe
How would you play the situation if you had to change the trv on a down stairs rad.would you still drop pressure and snatch?suppose its down to experience, try it 🙂
yes, doesn't make difference where it isHow would you play the situation if you had to change the trv on a down stairs rad.would you still drop pressure and snatch?
use that to drop pressure then drain rad, then snatchSince learning the trade I've noticed a lot of drain of valves on radiators on ground level in pubs bars and houses.i think there a good idea.
yes,they sometimes dont shut off fully and leakDo lsv rarely go wrong?
trv's been round for donkeys, build regs say you have to fit them, can get cheapo's £5
Sorry i meant to say digital ones lol
thats right, new installsAnd i thought you only had to fit thermostaic radiator valves to new installs and not excisting? And all new builds will have them std
Why drain down ? 🙂Lets us no how you get on.Is snatching just a lazy way of doing things instead of daring down or is it about time and money?
