Anyone know what to do if the TRV capping bayonet fixings are locked in the retracted position? It means that the two TRV I've taken off - they won't fix back in position - they would only "sit" freely on top of the pipework/valve pin and be able to be lifted off without twisting or turning...

Passage of time may well encourage a "leave it alone now" stance, thus doing exactly that. However, I wouldn't agree that payment means anything: payment - of itself - means nothing with regard to quality of work. All payment means is that one party has fullfilled their part of the contract...

Thanks Beerlover.... on this one it worked by holding the plain black ring and twisting the knurled black ring just below it.

Thanks for your time and help Buck51.... The screwdriver to lever off was advice from a plumber on a previous one (couploe of years ago) that got stuck/locked when I put it back on so there's obviously something I'm doing wrong when Im put them back on Mine looks the same as the one...

EDIT: Once off - if the bayonet fixing retracts and locks in the retracted position within the TRV capping housing - how do I get the two fixings to return back out again? As it is, the two TRVs I've taken off are locked in the position of being able to come off - so they would just "sit" on...
