    We've moved into a 1970 house with steel radiators, but the lockshield valves are not the modern type with a shaft. They have a plastic cap over a flat, black plastic insert with a hexagonal hole in it. I assumed it was closed with an Allen key, but it doesn't turn far and doesnt appear to...

    How can I sort out an airlock in a customer's heating system?

    Usually I back fill the system with water from an outside tap on a drain valve (if the feed & expansion tank isn't doing its job) but the drain valves are useless and let all the water out so now I'm stuck! Does anyone have any simple suggestions as to how to get this airlock out please?
