So as I'm going to be doing over a hundred of these next week, I was wondering what you guys think is the best way to do this. Not looking for a short term fix, really after what works well longer term. Replacing them all isn't really an option that's desirable if it can be avoided as it's on a massive commercial system in an older adults hospital so we can't have heating off for any length of time (even sections of it).
Normally I spray some PTFE lubricant onto the pin then exercise it loads. I then bang in more PTFE lubricant for good luck and do it a bit longer
Any better products people use or better solutions? Exercising the pin without some sort of lubricant in there rarely makes them work more than a couple of weeks in my experience.
At present this hospital has windows open as about 90% of the radiators are stuck full on :/
