Screwfix Radiator bleed screw.
I thought that removing air from all radiators involved loosening the
square plug with a key. Some Screwfix radiators have a plastic rotating plug with a small screw in the centre. The plastic plug has a tiny hole in it. Should the screw be loosened to release the air? Seeking advice seemed better than trial and error - and drier! PJ |

I think the idea of the rotating bit is so yuo can direct the nasty black water somewhere other than all over the new cream carpet g Adrian |
