How to Use

Identify the Radiator Bleed Valve
Locate the small square bleed valve, typically found at the top corner of the radiator.

Insert the Brass Radiator Key
Align the square recess in the key with the valve and insert firmly.

Turn the Key Slowly
Rotate the key anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise). You will hear a hissing sound as air escapes.

Wait for Water to Appear
Once a small, steady trickle of water comes out, turn the key clockwise to close the valve securely.

Check Boiler Pressure
Bleeding a radiator may reduce boiler pressure. If needed, top up your system via the filling loop to maintain optimal pressure.

Cleaning: Wipe down with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove water residue and extend product life.

Avoid Overtightening: Do not force the key beyond normal resistance to avoid damaging the radiator valve.

Check for Wear: If the edges of the key show signs of rounding or slipping, replace it to maintain effective performance.
