Question

What tools do I need to remove a radiator?

Trevor · Answer

Generally speaking a pair of pump pliers, and footprints. Also an adjustable spanner is a useful tool to have available

Domonic · Answer

2 adjustable Spanners normally works for me

Just remember to have a wet vac and turn off the TVRs

Glenn · Answer

Adjustable wrench (Bahco) .. close valves and drain off radiator, you will need a flexible bowl to catch the water… you can use the top bleed valve to control the flow while draining.. if you have a wet vacuum cleaner, you can use that, that’s what I use…as a Plumber..

Marian · Answer

Ajustable spanner and radiator air vent key that is all that you need for this job

Stuart · Answer

If you have good valves and they don't let by and changing like for like then drill level grips adjustable spanner and a vent key if you have to drain your system well then it will be a bit more involved

Jonathan · Answer

1x adjustable spanner 1x radiator spanner to hold against yourself or another set of grips pozi screwdriver to take top off if needed and if its a trv then the cap to screw pin down stop it opening up

Patrick · Answer

Suitable sized spanner and a supporting adjustable wrench. Turn off both valves first. Get a suitable shallow container to catch the water and have a bucket handy. And old towels. Water may be black. Don’t overtighten when refitting.

Lee · Answer

You only need one tool to remove a radiator, a Qualified plumber.
You should not undertake your own plumbing as this always ends in tears. 
You will also void any insurance policy claim you then have to make for damages you will cause when you mess it up and the property floods.

Dean · Answer

you will need to draindown the system, so drain down hose, spanners, grips, drills etc

Brendan · Answer

An adjustable spanner and a couple 1/2 inch caps and a couple 15mm cap ends to cap the ends of the radiator so you don't spill the heating water
