Plumbing Can I turn my heating on?

Post image

I have removed a radiator from this wall but have not added caps to the ends. Is it okay to turn the heating on in the house or will I need to keep it off until I have capped these ends

IF.IF the valves are off and holding then yes. Did you drain it first ? If not then you know they are probably holding. I’d cap but then that’s caution.

Yes the vales are both off and radiator was drained before removing

Going to cap them tomorrow just wondering if it’s fine to have heating on tonight until I get the caps?

If the valves are fine tonight then why cap them 🤷

Is another radiator going there eventually?
