Hello,
I am building a new bathroom in an extra bedroom I have. I needed to move my cast iron radiator from one wall to another. I first drained my boiler, I disconnected the radiator from the feed and return pipes, and then I tore up the floor. I then disconnected the old pipes and moved them to their new location. The nipples coming out of the floor have caps on them, so I can put the floor back down, and fill my boiler back up. I would like to leave the caps on the pipes so I can finish the renovation, drywall paint baseboard. Now here is my question before I put the floor back down I want to make sure I have no leaks below the floor. My boiler is filled back up with water but I am worried with the caps onthe pipes it might be air bound and there might actually be no water in the pipes. What would be a good way to test this? I don't want to have any leaks obviously in theroom below.
