Title: Radiator bolt
Post by HammerH on Sep 30th, 2015, 6:44pm

Hi, when our previous tenants left it looks like part of our radiator went with them. Our new tenants have told us that when they turned on the radiator the water came spurting out the top small hole, and believe a bolt is missing.
This is the hole where typically a radiator key would fit.
Any thoughts on how this can be fixed?
Mike

Looks like a Myson Radiator send them the pic and I would expect them to send you a bleed screw.

From memory, it's a small, square bleed screw about 5mm on each side.
