thermostatic valves

[big al]

having only recently completed C&G level 2, i have been asked to replace 6 valves on rads to thermostatic type. If i bung feed and expansion tank i know i can work on the system without having to drain it all one at a time. My query is wether i have to fill each rad seperatley and bleed it or can i change all valves and bleed them all after?

if i was changing 6 rad valves i would empty the system

Plug the cistern (water conservation - water regs 🙂 )

Drain from the lowest point and crack on. Remember to add your inhibitor when refilling 🙂
