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. 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.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 Another reason could be because the bleed valve has been painted over and doesn’t look very good and you want to have nice shiny fittings on your radiators. There are a number of reasons why you need or want to replace your bleed valve but don’t worry, it is not a difficult task so keep reading and we will cover that shortly. Leaks 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. 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
Is that rad upstairs or down? Can you isolate the rad easily or is the system built without individual isolating valves? I managed to shear off the middle bit of my radiator bleed valve yesterday, just by turning it with a key. The time to fix is either now or after this winter but before next winter. I'd go for the latter because I'd fit it in with work that's likely anyway then. TRVs are one of the most efficient ways of controlling the heat in your home and by installing TRVs you could save up to 40% on heating bills, as independently tested by the University of Salford.When set at the correct level they will keep the room at the desired temperature.As they are installed on each radiator, you can have different settings in each room and they can be turned off in rooms that aren’t been used. You should be able to isolate an individual radiator with its own valves, with the caveat that some thermostatic valves leak a little when turned off especially if the room gets cold (mainly old ones but not necessarily). The balancing valve on the other end, which is almost always present, can be reset by counting turns as you close it then opening it the same amount. You'll get some water out, and it will be dirty, so protect the floor, walls etc.Easy to use slim line multi-functional programmable room thermostat with radio frequency version available

One of the most common reasons for replacing a bleed valve is that the bleed valve has failed and is leaking.
