Hi, Because of this cold weather I need to "switch on" a radiator that has been ignored for donkeys years.
It's a 1970s steel radiator, with a screw regulator at one end and an open or shut valve at the other end. Both have locking nuts that I have loosened. But I cannot loosen either valve screw and am scared to force. Any Advice?
I can't quite visualise what you've got from your description.
Any chance you upload some photos to somewhere on the web, and post a link here?
Hi Set Square
Used a bit of WD40 and then a quality 7mm spanner, and that did the trick. Please give me a kick if I use an adjustable spanner for a difficult job again!!!
