Help an amateur with leaking radiator!

[mrV]

Hi guys,

My hall radiator has started leaking, it is coming from the top ball inbetween the front and back and it is also coming from the on/off adjuster knob, strangely, at first the leak was much worse when the radiator was turned off completely by turning the knob

Im unable to attach the pics for some reason it says post denied sorry

Thanks, Ben

Shut both valves - if they move nicely .

Do you know if a Sealed combi system , or OLD vented ?
-vented has a never ending supply of water from attic
(may need to shut everything off ! if ceased and leak is bad )

( and grab a plumber - unless have tools - time n patience! )


If you do tweak the Lock-shield end -(-under a cover-Prob no Knob)
count how many half turns cw to close .. for "radiator balancing" another day
