Radiator bleed valves

Sep 06, 2004 6 Replies

Hi guys



I'm looking to get hold of the little pin thing that screws into a radiator to bleed the air off.



Just been to B&Q an dthey dont sell them. Is there anywhere that does?



Cheers


Do you mean the key, or the valve insert?

If it's the key, then B&Q do sell them. If you want the valve insert, go to a PM and buy a complete valve if they don't just do the insert - they're not expensive.

============= You can buy a complete 'Auto radiator air vent' from 'Focus' for about £1-50. You'll also need some kind of tool to remove the old one and a spanner to fir the new one.

Not all rads have the normal threaded plug and little pin to bleed with. I have some round topped rads that have just the pin that screws into the back of the rad.

I doubt that you can get the pin/insert separately, but I think it is probably the same thread, so I would just take one from a complete unit if I needed it.

But I'd guess it's the same insert?

That's the obvious way.

Surely you have a central heating merchant somewhere close by

They're in Yellow pages under "Central Heating Merchants"
