Bleed Valve Help please

[dougie212]

Hi there.

I have just been given a double radiator and need to find some bleed valves. Ive not seen this type before. Could anyone point me in the right direction please.

Thanks
Duncan

the best thing you can do with those rads is scrap them, if they are showing signs of rust on the outside there will be more on the inside. new rads aren't that much to buy

Rusty rad like that, it would be false economy to use it, even if you find the bleed nipples for it, it's already started corroding. Do yourself a favour and buy a new one. Only looks like a small rad as it's on its' side, probably about £40 for a new one.

screwfix, toolstation, wickes, b&q, Homebase or any number of plumbers merchants you should be able to get one for less then £60

Any plumbing merchant that sells to the public.
Or you could buy from B&Q or Screwfix where you will find their standard radiators reasonable price, but frankly they are lightweight cheap made IMO.
