If you turn off the valve first its not a problem. Just stick your thumb over it as soon as it pulls free

Since learning the trade I've noticed a lot of drain of valves on radiators on ground level in pubs bars and houses.i think there a good idea.

How would you play the situation if you had to change the trv on a down stairs rad.would you still drop pressure and snatch?

Only thing I've snatched is some pushfit elbows on a system that was obviously airlocked at the point where the elbows ere. Released them for a few seconds and they spat and sputtered then woosh. Hurredly put the elbow back on, job done.
I will start snatching other things soon, as long as I have towels and stop ends handy. Will post on here when i do one
Wish me luck...
