I've bought 7 of the sods - standard hot water double radiators with a sort of matrix of conductive metal in between the front and back plates. Now, there's threaded holes either side at the top which I presume I put the blanking cap and air vent fittings into (at least their dodgy photocopied instructions suggest this), but either side at the bottom, where I had thought I could simply screw my valves in, there seems to be some kind of circular plug *welded* into the hole where the valves should go. It looks like an X inside an O. Has anybody any idea how I proceed? I must admit to being baffled. I've concidered whacking a screwdriver through to see if that shifts it, but don't want to damage them if I'm wrong. Thanks for any advice offered.
