If you can flush all the rads before fitting, be surprised how much rubbish they can have in them
 
So might be worth me connecting the flow to the mains and running it through each rad in turn?
 
If you have an open vent system I wouldn't connect the flow to the mains.:p:p:p:p

New system, think he means flow then each rad

And have the rad outside to flush
 
No im taking the old system out and going to a combi. We currently have an ancient Poterton boiler, a hot water cylinder and two water cisterns in the loft.

I mean once i have piped up the rads, run the return to a grid, and connect the flow to the mains. Turn the tap on and go around the house opening each radiator in turn.

Thought you did but was double checking ;);)
 
I have been pressure testing as i go and so far its held pressure each time overnight. Probably do a final one with the system full with as much water as i can before pumping it up.
 
I always flush before filling the boiler towel rails always have debris from the manufacturing process , stelrad have been especially bad recently rusty water in a few i have fitted maybe from testing in the factory ? Cheers kop
