Hi looking for an opinion, I got a large radiator in a room that has already got one and that is surplus to requirements. I like to remove this and installed it in another room which has only got a small radiator.
My system is a non-pressurized one with a standard oil boiler, can I just remove the radiator cap the ends and extend the upstairs pipes to fit the new size, or do I have to connect the in and out pipes and drain and refill the system?

Hi freeflow,
You could leave the rad valves in place and connect to these once the old radiator has been removed. This would save draining the system but you would have in-line radiator valves.
Regards S
