First, we need to turn off the heating system and let it cool. Inevitably there will be some water escaping when you replace the bleed valve, so it is best to make sure that the water is cold enough to touch. Step 2 – Isolate the Radiator in Question Make sure that you turn the heating off – the last thing you want is a trip to the hospital for scalding yourself!” Frequently Asked Questions I have found similar-looking things online called "Myson bleed valves" - but that comes with the warning that they only fit Myson radiators (I think because of imperial sizing), and I have no idea if this is a Myson - I don't think it is because the rad is doesn't match any of their sizes (it's 600x1200mm). I managed to shear off the middle bit of my radiator bleed valve yesterday, just by turning it with a key.
Our TRV valves are perfect for any project, whether it’s new-build, self-build, social housing or large commercial projects, MYSON have the optimum productto complement our heat emitter range Aluminium plates are laid between floor joints and MYSON FLOORTEC underfloor heating pipe is secured within the plateA leaking bleed valve can cause havoc in the pressurised system and will need rectifying sooner rather than later. You could try removing the bleed plug and attempting to reseal but, in most cases, it is best to just buy a new one. Aesthetics As you can see, this is not a difficult task and no need for panic stations. The best thing to do is keep calm and carry on. The article above is aimed at replacing standard bleed valves located on most radiators. Personally, I know I need to drain, flush, descale, and refill, including inhibitor every couple of years anyway, because of a combination of hard water and the lowest point being a blower unit that easily clogs, in a room that needs the heat. Getting the sludge out of that is a good few hours' work; fixing this valve would be a minor addition to the effort. I'd one of each main type to have on hand, but consider it not guaranteed to fit so wouldn't remove the old one when the shops are shut. Products
After doing this then the radiator should be isolated from the rest of the system, allowing you to remove the old bleed valve (carefully as there will still be a bit of pressure in the radiator) and screw in the new valve. No, all radiator bleed valves are not the same size. Although many radiators use a standard size, you may find that designer radiators will have a different design. Now you will need to clean around openings, insert the plugs and do them up nice and tight letting the PTFE tape create the seal. Step 6 – Turn on the System

Our DECORATIVE range includes 8 different products with compression or push fit connections in 10mm and 15mm sizes You will want to take your new plugs and wrap the PTFE tape around the threads, pressing the tape into the grooves as you go. How many times you wrap the thread will depend on the valve, but 3 times around is a good benchmark. Is that rad upstairs or down? Can you isolate the rad easily or is the system built without individual isolating valves? I don't absolutely have to replace the bleed valve, because I have found I can still bleed the radiator by loosening the nut - it's just a bit more inconvenient than a radiator key. Our PETITE range has over 10 different products with compression or push fit connections in 10mm, 15mm and ½” sizes
It has a wireless communication function for the replacement of an existing passive head as well as app capability when connected to the Unisenza Plus Gateway. I’m Lee the Plumbing Wizard. I’ve been a plumber for over 40 years and have seen it all. People used to call me a magician because I could fix things so easily – hence the name Plumbing Wizard. This step is important to prevent leakage as new plugs alone will not be enough to prevent leakage so the threads will need to be wrapped with PTFE Tape. This is especially true when using new plugs on older radiators.Here at Plumbing Wizard, we get asked a lot about radiator bleed valves. This is because they are not something that the average person will have in their home or apartment. The most common question we get is “ How do I replace my radiator bleed valve?“
