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.

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.

Leaks 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.

The MYSON TRV2 range includes over 20 different products with compression or push fit connections in 10mm, 15mm and ½” sizes 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 QuestionThis 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. You will want to take your new plugs and wrap the PTFE tape around the threads, pressing the tape into the grooves as you go. How many times you wrap the thread will depend on the valve, but 3 times around is a good benchmark. 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 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.

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 The time to fix is either now or after this winter but before next winter.
