Drain Easy Kit
 0701165.jpg?n=8317)
- Time saving
- Avoid system draining for repairs
- Suitable for 15mm and 22mm pipework
The 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.

Technical
- Not to be used on direct, unvented or primatic systems or auto-vented systems.
- Not to be used on systems with a header tank more than 30ft (9metres) above the systems lowest point.
- No lubricating oils to be applied
- Only one section of pipework can be disconnected at a time
The specially-shaped Drain Easy plugs are fitted into the cold feed and the expansion pipe of the feed and expansion tank. After releasing some inherent pressure in the system with the bleed key supplied, and building up a vacuum by allowing water to flow for about 1 minute, any single item such as a pump, valve or radiator may be removed without further loss of system water/inhibitor.
