Can you put a bleed screw on the other end of a radiator ?

[micpwelsh]

Hi I have a radiator under a piece of my kitchen worktop . I can't bleed it because the bleed screw is on the end I can't get at . Is it possible to make this end into a bleed screw ? I'll post a picture
Thanks

Can't see why not. Best of luck unscrewing that end though.

I've found in the past a 1/2" square drive from a socket set ratchet taps into the square....you may get lucky!

Doesnt matter which end you put the bleed point on you can have one on each end if you want, good luck getting one to fit that though, and you will need to buy a rad key to fit one if you can find it, just change the rad and send that one to a museum

Homebase has the vent you need - replacement radiator plug and air vent set - the old fashioned type you need - and PTFE tape too.

Just fit an easibleed valve. Uses the same principle as a self cutting tek screw

Are they any good ?

Haven't heard anything bad about them and with these types of solution .... no news is good news .... and they have been available for a while.

Never tried them though.
