I am obviously missing something, this one radiator in our house has a lockshield with what appears to be no valve stem. Looks like a hexnut female. But I'm not sure. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing, this has to be standard, and I must need a key or something. Any advice appreciated. Pics attached. Cheers tonga1978

Yup 8mm.

That did the trick. Warm as toast now.

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks
