I had a blanking nut, but I put a 5p coin in a normal compression nut and then a fibre washer and there is no reason why it would not work.

I made a video on how to remove a radiator, and added the tip but it will be a few hours, possibly tomorrow before I get chance to edit, convert and upload it :wink:

No, a new condensing combi has been fitted.

I drained the whole system and then the decorator can remove the radiators to paper and paint behind :wink:
