Re: Radiator removal
Is the bushing leaking on the large thread? If so that will probably involve cutting it out.

Re: Modern hot water radiators - what do I need?
The whole purpose of zoning is comfort control, possibly some small energy savings.
So it depends on how you plan on using the rooms. with variable use bedrooms it is nice to have the individual control. Bathroom control is nice for shoulder season, before the main house needs total heat.
At the very least leave options to easily add a zone control down the road.
A delta P type circulator is best for variable zoned systems.

Do not use a MonoFlo® or diverter tee system with TRVs. And I would caution you with designing a MonoFlo® type system. It may not be as easy as it looks. You will need to understand the flow patterns and pressure drops of each radiator on the zone (loop). You need to then know how to use this selection chart in order to select the pipe sizes and appropriate tee fittings.

I like Ribs because the little red light tells you it's working.

Re: How Do I Connect This Wire?
If they go up that much a transformer and a RIB will work and nut much more work to install.
Wasn't there another relay like a RIB that had a transformer built into it? Someone posted it last year I think. But maybe the trans is to small for a Nest.
Re: Radiator removal
@Ghynes440 said: Thank you for all that info. I am actually getting it powder coated. There is a company that refinishes radiators near me and that is the process . The other side of the does union with a shut off valve, which was easy to get off. Instead of sweating fittings, I plan on renting a copper pipe crimper.
All good to get copper press fittings that will use a press tool. You should make arrangements to purchase the return bend union. Not sure if that make that in a 3/4" press fitting so you may need to get a 3/4" press x Male adaptor and thread on the 3/4" threaded union bend. Just putting it back as is, with no union, may not be the best idea if you plan on living there for a while.
