Old cast iron column radiators flow return-urgent help

[Unregistered]

Thanks everyone-will try the hacksaw method.

The rads have only recently been removed from buildings where I understand they were working but boiler being fitted Sun so will mention about the safety valve as I don't want to ruin (any more!) of them. Is a sealant necessary for the stop ends on the rads or just PTFE and if so whats the best thing if LSX isn't good for this?

That paste he's using isn't much like boss white though? The guy in the video seems to think the paste is just for lubrication. Anyone else here tried hemp without boss? It don't seal lol!

I like using Boss and hemp. Makes me feel old-school 🙂
