There is a petcock at the bottom of the radiator if I am not mistaken - but it is a beeeach to get to!
There is a bolt for the lower block too and a bolt to burp the air once filling.

Yeah! There is a petcock at the bottom of the radiator. Thanks for the manual, That should help. I really appreciate.
There is a reason why folks choose to yank off the lower hose....... It's a pain in the azz when the petcock breaks.

What reasons if i may ask?Who else doesn't want the petcock to break? You gotta be more careful this days, More reasons why i'm out here asking questions. Glad i could figure it out.There is a reason why folks choose to yank off the lower hose....... It's a pain in the azz when the petcock breaks.

I have a BX, and that little flimsy (plastic?) drain petcock looks like it's asking for a reason to break.Lol
I use the bottom hose of the radiator. I'm not looking for trouble.
Long time ago I learned that discretion is the better part of valor....
Just today I probably replaced a good (but cheap) part on my pellet stove because I got impetuous taking old part out.
