Guys,

I've just replaced an old rad in the house and I want to flush the system and add an inhibitor before refilling. Only problem is, the heating system is sealed, so there's no tank in the attic that I can pour the inhibitor into.

Cheers!

Chadwicks do a tube of inhibitor which has a rad blead adapter on it.
I need to do the same. Chadwicks plumbing centre is near Atlantic Homecare in Sandyford.

thanks for the reply. I actually have an unused bottle of Sentinel X100 at home - don't suppose there is an easy way to get this into a sealed system ?
