MYSON Controls produce a wide range of thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) to suit any application, from standard domestic requirements to polished decorative products. Now you will need your adjustable spanner to remove the bleed plug (and the blank on the other end).

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. 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 It has a wireless communication function for the replacement of an existing TRV head as well as app capability when connected to the Unisenza Plus Gateway. First, we need to turn off the heating system and let it cool.

The MYSON TRV2 range includes over 20 different products with compression or push fit connections in 10mm, 15mm and ½” sizes 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 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.

One of the most common reasons for replacing a bleed valve is that the bleed valve has failed and is leaking. A leaking bleed valve can cause havoc in the pressurised system and will need rectifying sooner rather than later. You could try removing the bleed plug and attempting to reseal but, in most cases, it is best to just buy a new one.
