Hi, just come across you channel.
I’ve got the same rail but need to change the thermostatic valve. Is it the same process? Also if I have water stop dials at the bottom 2 pipes do I turn them off from their?

[@aaanton11]

Yes, it is, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@manuelcaeiro7779]

Why didn't you shut the central water pipe while changing it? Any inconvenients of doing that? Thanks for the video!

[@aaanton11]

Trying to avoid draining the system, and creating an airlock, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@ewanhusarmi8358]

What if the pipe just comes up straight from the floor and you can’t get a bowl in there to catch the water?

[@aaanton11]

if you turn off all the radiators on the system, then disconnect the valve, with some old towels around the pipe, the flow should be slow enough to change if you are quick. Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Do you need to turn off the boiler?

[@aaanton11]

you need the radiator to be cool before removing the valve, so best to turn off the heating, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@Gizmo12451]

Why didnt you drain the system a bit?

[@aaanton11]

Anything to save a bit of time, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@uknow7236]

You tightened it that hard it squashed it till it crumbled both sides 😂
