I removed the rads as per instructions on the link from Canucklehead (thanks).
I put on the 3/4" blank caps with the PTFE tape - all went well.
The room has now been skimmed and this morning I intended to put the rads back up, but on removing the blanking caps of the the thermostats, dispite the them being fully off ( the snowflake setting), water started dripping. The further I unscrewed the blanking cap the more the water came out. In fact, I'm pretty sure it is actually under pressure - is it because of the extreme cold? Am I going to have to drain the whole system to get these rads back on?
Many thanks for any help.
It will be under pressure as the "passing" through the TRV has been built up against the blanking caps, this will stop after a few seconds, just put a container or cloth under the valve to catch the water as you release the caps.
