Knackerd 19Yr Old Bleed Valve Grub Screw

[AWhyte]

Does anyone know where I can get hold of replacement Brass Square Head Radiator Bleed Valve Grub screws. My rads are the original rads from 19yrs ago but still in good order beside the bleed screws.

Many thanks for any answers.

Kev - No they are welded into the back of each of the panels

They are the welded in the rad type not the 1/2" screw fittings with bleed valve as per 6918 on BES.

Thanks for reply though.

Take a trip to your local scrap merchants and speak nicely to the guy. They have all types of rads on the pile.

Myson roundtops had a smaller pin than std size. Their factory is in Gateshead. You could always ring them on 0191 491 4466 and ask them to post one.

Why can't you take the bleed screw out of a new radiator vent?

Tried grub screw from new Bleed Valve but the Bleed screw from the new valves are a smaller size than my original rad Bleed screws.

New ones look like 3/16" but my old one looks at least 7/32" or even 1/4"

But nice call.
