Cant find radiator bleed valve anywhere!!!!!

[Ant1977]

CAn anyone help???

I bought the attached double rad as a replacement for my single, however upon installing it i noticed that the two bleed screws were missing, ive bought a few brass replacements from rad spares but none fit!!! a neighbour says it would be an alloy screw and not brass anyway- does anyone know what would fit? there is a number stamped in the rad itself BA X846900 C i dont know the make, it certainly doesnt look very old tho. Im a beginner so please avoid trade jargon (im nice and simple)

Haven't seen that style for a while ... go back to your supplier?

Ive found a Myson Vent screw picture on this link-

Knackered radiator bleed screw - ScoobyNet

Is this what im after, if so are they still around?

It's probably why it was only £5?

It could be a Barlo Round Top Rad - the BA suggests that. The company is now called [url=http://www.quinn-radiators.com]Quinn Radiators[/URL].

They may be able to help you.

Did you try Quinn/Barlo as I suggested?

try going to a scrap yard , they bound to have tons of rads lying around . sure they wouldnt charge much if at all for you to remove a few bleed screws
