Bleeding radiators

I noticed in our new flat that the radiators have no bleed points. What happens to trapped air.? My system is a combi gas fired boiler. Blair


================= Many newer radiators have the bleed screws on the inner flat surface. Feel along the back about 1.5" from the top edge for the screw or a slight domed bump. The screw is often covered with a small plastic plug.

Can't be right, unless the radiators were filled while they were being held upside down!!

Maybe they're under some manufacturer's badge which flips off?

Actually I have seen rads with outlet pipes at the top...they don't need bleed points..

..upside down in your parlance, as you say..:-)

They are probably along the rear of the top where you can't see them. Folded over metal radiators often have them there.

You are right- I found them where you said Thanks Blair
