carosio Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 If there isn't one already, fit a drain **** to the lowest part of the pipework (both hot and cold pipes and easy to get at) so it's just a 2 min job at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eater Sundae Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Also, there might be liquid trapped within appliances (water heaters for example). If this is allowed to remain and freeze, it can damage the appliance itself, and not just the pipes. The instructions for the appliance should be able to advise if you need to drain it individually, and how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to drain off all the water provided there is expansion room which can take the increased volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
