Drain off last drop of water in heating system

BinLiner2

Hi
I've an open vented system with oil boiler

I have it mostly drained down except the last bit in the downstairs pipes.
There's a drain off at the boiler but it's at a higher level
How do I get it out
Thanks

Why do you want every drop out?

I'm cutting the pipes flush for flooring and removing the heating

Ah ok. Unless you can find the lowest point on the system and open it then youre stuck im afraid. Over time the water will evaporate. If the floors aren’t finished then cut off 2 pipes. The water will find its level then. You could always use a wet vac to remove a bit more

Maybe a wet vacuum,?

If you really want every drop out , get a little air compressor , keep the pressure low and blow the water out. Ideally you get a pipe bung that can take an air fitting

I have a wet vac blower type vacuum

Not sure how i'd do it

If I connect it up to any downstairs rad pipe can I blow it out the boiler drain off

If tis a wet vac, suck, not blow!
