I’m Lee the Plumbing Wizard. I’ve been a plumber for over 40 years and have seen it all. People used to call me a magician because I could fix things so easily – hence the name Plumbing Wizard. MYSON Controls produce a wide range of thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) to suit any application, from standard domestic requirements to polished decorative products.

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 After doing this then the radiator should be isolated from the rest of the system, allowing you to remove the old bleed valve (carefully as there will still be a bit of pressure in the radiator) and screw in the new valve. I'd be a little wary of relying on the outside nut long term in case of leaks developing. Most of my radiators need bleeding at this time of year, a couple of them more than once, so that might mean a few openings. New ones often have an o-ring seal which can tolerate opening, but older ones didn't. 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. 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 QuestionTRVs 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. Central regulator for underfloor heating components including; thermostats, actuators, pumps and boiler The Unisenza Plus Receiver RF can be used for the wireless control of a boiler, pump, or zone valves in a central heating system. Note: If you were unable to open the bleed valve in step 3 – undo the plug slowly and be prepared for some water to escape. Step 5 – Wrap Your New Plugs with PTFE Tape

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.Our unique range of TRVs includes TRV2, including a Petite version, remote sensor heads, TRV bodies, an attractive decorative model, as well a specially designed TRV kits to complement our LST radiator range. 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. Keep the valve open until the water stops flowing out although if you are unable to open the bleed valve, move on to step 4. Step 4 – Remove the Bleed Plug Now you will need to clean around openings, insert the plugs and do them up nice and tight letting the PTFE tape create the seal. Step 6 – Turn on the System

One of the most common reasons for replacing a bleed valve is that the bleed valve has failed and is leaking. 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 Is that rad upstairs or down? Can you isolate the rad easily or is the system built without individual isolating valves? 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. 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.

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). I managed to shear off the middle bit of my radiator bleed valve yesterday, just by turning it with a key. The Unisenza Plus Gateway is the central unit for connecting several Unisenza Plus devices to the cloud and an Internet router with a WiFi or Ethernet cable connection. If you have had to remove the bleed plug for any reason, you may be struggling to get a good and watertight seal. This 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.Easy to use slim line multi-functional programmable room thermostat with radio frequency version available
