Discuss Replace rad valve without draining down? in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
yep that can happen though personally i would drain down under those circumstancesIt's deffinately a good fun. Had to cut the olive too with one finger on the pipe - wrong thread.
It wouldn't work if you've got a small thumb though! And watch out for the sharp edge!
if you do it live make sure everything you could possibly need is within reach!
IMO It doesnt matter what system it is. If someone has buried a AAV in the house. You'll get wet and can be a pain. Takes a bit of experience to do a live valve change.
But. When it's open vented. I;
Isolate rad
Loosen valve. Rad connection not pipe
Drain rad in to dish/bowl
Hold vale in hand. Remove nut on pipe and rad
Change QUICKLY
Reconnect ad fill
Job done
