Bleeding a radiator is fairly simple! Here’s HMM’s expert step-by-step guide:
- Make sure the heating system is off to avoid any hot water coming out when you bleed the radiator.
- Locate the bleed valve. It’s usually on the side of the radiator, near the top, and looks like a square protrusion or a small nut.
- Put towels or a container under the valve to catch any water that might drip.
- Get a radiator key (you can buy one at most hardware stores) or use a cloth if the valve has a slot for a screwdriver. Put the key onto the square protrusion of the bleed valve.
- Turn the key counter clockwise (or use the screwdriver) about a quarter to half a turn. You’ll hear a hissing sound—this is the trapped air escaping. Keep a close eye on the valve – as soon as water starts to come out steadily, be ready to close it.
- Turn the key clockwise gently to close the valve once water begins to flow steadily. Be careful not to overtighten it.
- After bleeding all the radiators, check the boiler pressure gauge. If it’s low, you might need to repressurise the system according to your boiler’s instructions.
Remember, safety first! Always be cautious when working with radiators and hot water systems. If you’re not confident or comfortable doing it yourself, it might be best to call one of our professional plumbers on 01782 630656.
