MYSON Radiator Bleed Valve/Screw/Vent/Nipple Replacement

Product Information

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 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 plate 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.

Bleed plugs can often be removed when a system needs draining or the radiator needs flushing and may be due to age, wear and tear or poor technique, you may end up struggling. How to Replace Radiator Bleed Valves Now you will need your adjustable spanner to remove the bleed plug (and the blank on the other end). 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. ProductsThis is what it looks like in use, the vent in the picture is white, as it was fitted in the factory and then painted along with the radiator. 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 One of the most common reasons for replacing a bleed valve is that the bleed valve has failed and is leaking.

If the answer to any of these questions is 'Bu@@er that for a game of soldiers!' then leave it til next time the system has to be drained anyway, for a bigger reason. 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.MYSON Controls produce a wide range of thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) to suit any application, from standard domestic requirements to polished decorative products. 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).

Our PETITE range has over 10 different products with compression or push fit connections in 10mm, 15mm and ½” sizes They’re typically placed at the top of the radiator because any air that will be trapped inside will be forced upwards by the pressurised water below.We can provide dedicated support for the commercial and specification market in areas such as hotels, schools, hospitals and a variety of other commercial installations
