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 With most common radiator designs, at the top of each end, there will be a plug inserted – one of them will be blank (smooth finish) and the other will have some kind of opening or fitting that can be opened with a tool or key – this one is the bleed valve. Why do Radiator Bleed Valves Need Replacing? One of the most common reasons for replacing a bleed valve is that the bleed valve has failed and is leaking.

MYSON Controls produce a wide range of thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) to suit any application, from standard domestic requirements to polished decorative products.

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). 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.

LeaksNow you will need your adjustable spanner to remove the bleed plug (and the blank on the other end). It has a wireless communication function for the replacement of an existing passive head as well as app capability when connected to the Unisenza Plus Gateway. 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. I don't absolutely have to replace the bleed valve, because I have found I can still bleed the radiator by loosening the nut - it's just a bit more inconvenient than a radiator key.
