How to bleed a radiator - No bleed vavle

[SALL2009]

The middle part of one of my radiators remains cold all the time. It gets hot from the sides. There is no bleed valve on the radiator. How can I bleed it, to get rid of air from it?

The only valve on it, is the one showed on the picture below.

so what your saying is that some idiot has fitted a plug at "both" ends of the top of the radiator, clever stuff, you need to remove a plug at one end and fit a vent/plug.

There should be a bleed valve, check again. If not post pictures of the top of your radiator.

Both ends look like a plug. But one side does have a square radiator key nut, but it’s embedded in the plug. And there is no obvious pointing hole, like the one you have on modern bleed valves. Do older valve work differently?

yes - put your vent key on the square and turn anti clockwise

Hi Someone probably snapped off the vent screw you will need to replace one plug with one with an air vent
