Hi - I'm asking for my son who bought a circa 1940's house with radiator heat...
He's had central air/heat installed on the top 2 floors. Now he wants to keep the radiator heat only in basement. The boiler is in basement and the system has a loop of pipe going around the ceiling. Off of this loop, each upstairs radiator has 2 small pipes going to it (I assume supply and return?).
He wants to cut these supply/return pipes and cap them - thereby making it a closed system only in the basement. Of course then he can remove the upstairs radiators.
Is there any obvious prob with doing this?
Thx,
Donk
