Draining Central Heating – Wet Work
- The first thing we want to do is connect a dependable hose to the “drain cock”, which if you look carefully, is most typically found in the pipe work at its lowest point.
- Then, grab your jubilee clip, make sure everything is safely secured, and don’t forget to set the other end of the hose somewhere that can serve as an acceptable gulley.
- Open the drain cock to begin draining central heating. Afterwards, go about and release the air bleed valves so that the water is displaced in the upstairs radiators. Repeat this step for the downstairs radiators once the level of water sufficiently drops.
- Once there isn’t anymore water coming out, your mission has been accomplished. All that’s left is to refill and then tidy up.
