Hello again o wise plumbers of the internet! Spring is here and it's time to tackle some renos!
This time I'll be removing an old rad from my kitchen so that I can lay a Schluter heated floor.
I moved my old cabinets only to discover a mystery pipe running along the floor that was concealed under that cabinets.
My plan is:
1. Drain system.
2. Remove rad and mystery pipe.
3. Place caps on the connections that went to the rad.
4. Refill and check for leaks.
Does this sound like a good idea? Am I risking messing up my heating system by capping off the flow where that rad was?
Thanks again, o wise plumbing masters; I await your judgement!
Cheers
Jan.
Here's the radiator. Notice the mystery copper pipe on the left.
Here's where the mystery pipe feeds into the rad.
Here's the right hand rad hookup. Notice the half-inch copper pipe... where's that going?
Here's the end of the mystery pipe. This connects to the main 2 inch heating pipe that goes to the furnace.
