Mega problem - Radiator towel rail is probably 25 years old. It needed fairly frequent bleeding (about once a week). I guessed the screw valve was a bit dicky so I tried undoing it this afternoon. I expected to be able to take it out,clean it up and re-screw it in and everything would be fine. However, I find the valve only turns about
30 degs on and off and cannot be removed. Doing it up tightly, when I turn the boiler pump on again water squirted out of the little air hole on the screw. So, what do I do? I've just tried putting bathroom sealant over it and am waiting for it to set now. If it holds when I turn the pump back on I shall be relieved - if not?- posted
