Using the Drayton Drain Easy Kit to Change and Remove Radiators - A Valuable Tool to Replace Radiators Without Draining Down the System (Open Wet Systems)
The Drayton Drain Easy kit comprises two durable rubber plugs, a tie and a radiator bleed key.
It is designed to facilitate removal of valves, repair of leaks etc. on an open vented wet central heating system without draining down, consequent loss of inhibitor, and risk of major air locks during refilling. It can only be used where the header (feed and expansion) tank is no more than 30ft (9 metres) above the lowest point in the system and only one break in the system is being made at a time.
The most important benefit of using the Drain Easy kit is to allow easy replacement of standard radiator valves with energy- saving TRVs. Thermostatic radiator valves such as the Drayton TRV4 offer substantial reductions in running costs over normal valves, coupled with improved comfort as room temperatures may be set individually.
It is also a valuable emergency kit which will allow various repair and maintenance jobs such as the replacement of failed pipes, valves, radiators etc. to be undertaken quickly and easily.
