No mate you turn it clock wise to shut it down
Sorry mate but your vid on removing a single radiator is showing the full picture. There is so much more to it .
10 – 15 vessels of water? depends on rad size. K1 K2 p+ what is it ? your not gona get loads of water out until you undo the air cock and displace the water with incoming air, its like holding your finger over end of the straw.
Also once the radiator is off what are you gonna do about the TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve) . you can never be certain that it will stay shut down . If the temprature drops in the room for any reason the pin inside the valve will open up pooring your whole system on your carpet , sounds extreme but it does happen. Not that time consuming 1400 x 800 k2 (Big Rad) 10 mins tops from full to empty.
er yeah bit confusing there mate, you are turning it clockwise and saying turn it anticlockwise to shut it off. Like Jaseperry says you turn it off turning it clockwise
Thanks, excellent video, I was beginning got wonder if I was doing it correctly as it seems to be taking awhile.
this guy is a dick,you have gotta hold against the valve body with a pair off grips and undo the nut with a spanner,coz u mite crack the live side off the valve and like otha ppl say you gota open the vent,and if you have still the plastic cap that comes with the valve take the head off the trv use it to shut it off.
Your some F**king nut do you no the difference between clockwise and anti clockwise lol brill im pissing meself again.
What do you use the straw for? sucking the water out? I have to take a radiator off to tile behind it, I tried it earlier but lots of water came out after I turned off the valve so I tightened it back up again because black water came out.
Think the proper term is it’ll come pissing out.
Must be a big rad if it’ll flood your floor
this guy should be sweeping the streets or something where its difficult to fuck things up.
What a cock
An adjustable spanner? Call them what you like; slip-joint pliers, pump grips, pipe grips, water pump pliers, but it sure as hell isn’t an adjustable spanner.
lol Your some fucking nut this is my new favourite show better that watching Mr Bean on acid do you not no the difference between clockwise and anti clockwise ye spanner! I hope your not trying for kids because I doubt you could do that right would you even no where to find the right hole for that job lol I heard the only time he ever got his wife wet was when she stood next to this radiotor while he was working on it. do the world a favour dont reproduce
I fukin love watchin this guy!!! haha!! i think ull find theres only one TRV and a lockshield valve on the other side, not another one on that side!! and u turn clockwise to close them hahah!! quality!!
cheers m8t took ur advise un flooded the house`thanks now ive fucked it lol
tighten ur nut un empty ur vessel “ur smutty m8t
when undoing nuts you should use grips to hold pipe work then undo using an adjustable spanner or else you will fracture the seals on the pipework an have a leak dont listen to this cowboy get a competent tradesman in yeha.
