Can a DIYer remove a radiator?

Question

Is it easy enough for a DIYer to remove a radiator? It will make it easier for decorating if I can remove it. The radiator is only a few year's old.

Amel · Answer

Only if he has the right tools/ equipment and also needs to be able to know how to refill the system.

Cameron · Answer

Easy enough,  lock down the flow / return open the bleed then crack the valve on the rad side. Drain the rad undo the other side, then take it off the wall.

Edmund · Answer

As long as the taps turn off, once they’re off it’s isolated from the rest of the system so all you have to do is empty it….

- you will  need two water plyers  to undo the nuts, if you put a small bucket or paint try to catch the water it should take 10mins…..

-if you knock the radiator you’ll find out how much water is left, a towel can be handy and a spare bucket as you will have to empty the surplus water when other fills up…..

Good luck

Hi it’s easy to do just need to isolate the valves either side and drain the water out the radiator must undo the radiator bleed screw. Or if the radiator is on plastic pipe you could just lift it off the wall.
