Need to re-site a radiator from one side of room to the other, is it best to just cap off old pipe work, or possibly loop it together to maintain the flow through the pipes.
Thanx.

You don't need to maintain flow through it as it's in parallel with all the other radiators... unless you have a one-pipe system in which case there is a bypass pipe anyway.

Didn't really mean about starving the system, just wondered wether it would be better to loop it rather than just plug the ends.
Thanx.

Don't loop it. It's not neccessary and will cause problems when you balance it.
