in THE MAIN WALL
I have a one pipe system and my gauge glass started leaking.

Can I run my system with the upper and lower values turn off for a day or two.

Thanks

    MAKE sure the low water cut off & other safeties work properly.

    Gauge Glass

    Thanks for the info.

    I tried running the system with the tube removed but it did seem to want to sent heat to the radiators. When I put the tube back in they heated up very quickly.

    I didn't think that this should have made a difference.

    Yes

    I went along for most of last heating season with the sight gauge valved off....but I did open it once a week to check level at the same time a I blew down and checked the feed/LWCO.

    Had it replaced this year.
