Can a radiator (which has no control and is always hot )in the bathroom be swapped over with one in hall?

Our bathroom is always too hot because it cannot be turned off . I want to swap it over with one in the hall which has a control so that the bathroom radiator can be turned off and we can get the benefit of the extra heat in the hall .Is that possible ?Can a radiator (which has no control and is always hot )in the bathroom be swapped over with one in hall?
can't you just swap the control/thermostat it would save you a lot of bother.


Turn off valves both ends of heater/radiators, slacken slightly the nuts on pipes lift heater from bracket at the rear of the heaters swivel heaters down to floor, level change over thermostat, but use new thread tape on all threads on pipe fittings,turn heater back to wall brackets tighten all pipe nuts( don't over tighten or you might burst the threads,) when satisfied turn open valves on heaters, slowly keep your eyes peeled for leaks, you can always have a container like a empty ice cream tub or similar to catch drips, if any.


If yo prefer to change over heaters ( if there the same size)


you can always dismantle the same way, that way you won't get a flood of water on your floor, and if you prefer you can always empty the heaters outside and get rid of any rust lying in the heaters/radiators. This job is better done with two persons as heaters can be heavy Reassemble.


Aways use the correct size of spanners on all fittings tools and thread tape can be had at most DIY stores.


NB. There might be a reason why the heater hasn't been fitted with a thermostat. I have a radiator in the hall not fitted with a thermostat, apparently there should be always one without.Remember to top up the water when you have done,


If in doubt call a plumber. But the best of luck to if you want to have a go, PS remember to bleed both heaters to get the air out .Can a radiator (which has no control and is always hot )in the bathroom be swapped over with one in hall?
'; stitched up'; as usual gives a great answer,


what worries me are several factors, do you have solid fuel heating ( anthracite ) if yes then you CANNOT remove this radiator, as it causes the hot water to thermo-syphon through, so the installer DID'NT put valves on it.


The other scenario though rare is if you have a'; link-up'; to another boiler, in which case don't remove it.


Unfortunately you did'nt mention what type of heating you had.
Yes as long as they are the same length %26amp; the pipes will fit. Measure the length between the pipes that come out of the ground 2 see it they match
yes if both rads are the same size
Yes.Bleed the water out and undo it.
The hall is usually the best place to have an uncontrolled radiator, the room thermostat should also be in the room with the uncontrolled radiator, as the room thermostat is not allowed in the bathroom, you are actually conforming to regulations by changing the valves, some heating installers used to leave the bathroom radiator with no thermostat because it saved fitting a room thermostat.
i dont know what kind of heat system you are using, what kind of radiators they are (cast iron, copper coil,etc.)and why you canput a valve on the existing radiator in the bathroom,,,,so i cant answer you.
This depends if the rad in the bathroom is taken off the pipe work that comes from the boiler direct ( a true by pass ) or it is off pipe work that is after a control valve , if it is the latter then it is possible to to change it to any rad ,
Yes,hall radiators are now seen as the best place to have your by-pass radiator.Swap the valves.
Yeah that should be fine, as long as the pipe sizes are the same, and you always have 1 radiator in your house that doesn't turn off, it will be fine!
