Expert Trade Answers
Best Answer
"You would drain the heating system, remove each radiator and replace the stem going into the radiator put the radiator back on the wall installing new TRV. Make sure you add inhibitor into the system to the volume of what your water volume is and then refill the system. Turn on your boiler bleed the radiators add water as required to get the preferred pressure.."
