I want to remove a small 18" cat iron Hot Water radiator from the upper floor of a two family house. When I went into the basement I shut down the system and turned off the valve that feeds the upper floors. Plus, I turned off the radiator's valve and the valve on the only other radiator on that run. The water will not stop draining. Where is it coming from. I noticed that the system had no return loop on the line so it dead-ended after it feeds the other (last)radiators on that line. I have been told so many things that I am lost. Some say I cannot just cap the two stubs (supply and return)and must run a line connecting them. That dozen make sense as I have had that radiator shut-off for two years and that is basically capping it to a lesser extent. Others, with no explation, say I need a plumber for such a job. Everything is shut off! After 25 years in building construction, I thought I could handle this. I changed dozens of steam radiators in my other homes. Please help me out before the heat has to be turned back on in Oct. Thanks in advance Mike Mc |
