Hi,
The screw in the photo is a standard vent screw the screws into a plug on the top of the radiator.
If you have a B&Q, plumb center etc nearby you will be able to get replacements from them.
Hope this helps.

Thank you i will try B&Q but what/whos Stelrad and Myson?

Is that my type of screw/air vent?

The radiators where fitted by the council around 13/15 years ago, with a Baxi Bermuda.

thanks

Stelrad and Myson are two popular radiator manufacturers.

I recently fitted some brand new Myson Premier HE radiators and one of the vent screws (like you pictured) sheared in half when I tightened it. Fortunately, on these radiators, the whole housing unscrews so I got Myson to post me a couple of new ones under their 5 year guarantee.

Thank you so much i had feared new radiators, the main problem is caused by a normal key not fitting between them and the wall. The council had left a flat spanner type socket but that went a miss some time ago.

I am sure i will bebale to resolve the problem now thanks again
