Draining a central heating system

Water is an integral part of the heating system, as it serves as the main medium for distributing heating to the required parts. You need to select a central heating system carefully, keeping in mind your preferences and pick the best heating system that will work in an efficient manner. Most people opt for the fully pumped heating system, in which water is heated in a boiler, distributed to the pipe structure with the help of a pump and then routed to radiator circuits. In the last phase water is directed to hot water cylinder with the help of a motorized valve. User can easily control the amount of heat required in different rooms.
If you want to clean your radiator then you will need to drain the central heating system completely. Make sure that the boiler is tuned off and any sort of electrical or other connection to the system is disconnected. It is important to note here that water must not be allowed in the system. There is an automatic system installed in the tank that allows the valve to drop down and make up for the dropped level of water. This valve needs to be stopped with the help of some external piece of wood or plastic o hold the valve to its ‘full’ position.
When you have carried out all of the precautionary measures, you need to drain the water from radiator. Connect a hosepipe and empty the radiator in the best possible manner. Before you replace or clean the radiator make sure that no water in present inside. You can open the bleed valves for quick draining and then work on the radiator.
