One of my mums rads needs bleeding but has no bleed valve
Can I bung the vent & feed to the f&e & undo the blank & replace it?
Is there a reason it hasn't got one do you think? It's in a hallway.
Thx all

you can just turn both rad valve off then take the vent plug out, be aware it will be pressuized, so have the plug ready and a tray underneath,  |

If you follow Tom's advice, it might be an idea to fit a bleed valve at the same time Rocket. |

You could do as tom said and drain a little out from compression nut on rad valve |

Yeah, nothing. It is strange but I've never had to look at it.

So has it got 2 blanking caps on rather than a blank and a bleed?
