Removing A Radiator
We decided to knock a wall down that had a radiator on it. Now we have no wall, but the radiator pipes just hanging down. How do we get rid of these please?
The alternative is that we move it through 90 degrees, but this will mean extending the pipes. Is that easy?

Go for it, BM. With the greatest posssssible respect to OG......... DON'T join the two pipes (flow & return) together. That could greatly affect other radiators downstream. If you plan to move the rad, Go upstairs and get under the floor. Use one of these kits........ ... http://www.s crewfix.com/ p/rothenberg er-tradesman s-pipe-freez ing-kit/9520 8...

It's the kitchen radiator. The piping comes in thru the kitchen ceiling and used to be attached to the wall that isnt there anymore. We are trying to decide whether to cap it off and do away with it for good or resite it on the wall closest. But Mr BM reckons he needs pipe bending equipment and lots of other stuff to move it.
