I have searched through the forum but did not find anything related to my issue. I have a hot water convector I am trying to remove from my bathroom. It is a Sterling Type W-A Convector. It is a completely exposed wall hung unit with flat top and air inlet in through open bottom of unit enclosure.
I have removed the cover to expose the plumbing. The valve on the outside was originally painted shut but I was able to free it up. I turned it 180 degrees (the furthest it would go) clockwise in order to close the valve and shut the water off. The only problem is that doing so does not shut the water off. I opened the bleed valve and water still streams out. Is there something I am doing wrong or another valve that needs to be closed? I have provided some pictures so you can see what im working with.
Thanks in advance for the help!
