How to remove exposed radiator plumbing?
I've tried searching, but everything that comes up is just about removing the radiator and capping off the plumbing. I want to remove the plumbing.
We're looking at purchasing an old home with radiators and the plumbing for the radiators on the second floor are exposed on the first floor. They come up through the floors along the exterior walls (not inside the walls). We're planning on removing the radiators and installing mini-splits, so there is no need to keep the plumbing.
Is it as simple as draining everything, removing the radiators, cutting the piping as necessary and pulling it through the floor/ceiling? The pipes are copper, so I'd like to scrap them to try and recoup some costs.
