My radiators are as old as they get in the
1860's house. In doing rennovations I have
to remove each on to replace the wide plank
floorboards. I just shut off the valve with
the pipe union and use a large box wrench to
unscrew the union joint. The ball joint
should be treated carefully. If the valve is
too old and does not close a new union and end
can be
screwed in place of the radiator or wait till the
spring when the heat is off.

Moving the radiator is difficult as it is
extremely heavy. I use a two wheel appliance
cart. If you drop it it will go through the
floor to the basement.

iT is a good time to clean it and paint it.

Watch the air valve as it can easilly be
damaged.

Good luck.
