Hi all,

I've got a new radiator to replace an old one.
This is the first time I've installed a brand new one and I'm a bit unsure about connecting the new valves.

The new radiator seems to have all 4 connections sealed up. I am not sure how to unseal them. They look like they should unscrew, but I thought I better check before doing any damage. Can you please take a look at the photos and let me know how to get the ends off.


It is from Toolstation if that helps.
