Hello
Would you replace this lockshield live? It's on a sealed system. How much of a gush do you get (obviously I will release system pressure first). There is no drain point on this drop so whatever happens there will be some leakage.
The valve was working fine when I closed it to take off the towel rail. The very next day I refitted the towel rail but couldn't open the lockshield. Even soaking it in penetrating oil for 24 hours didn't help. The gland nut came off without issue. I tried to open it with an adjustable and predictably the stem sheared off.
Can you get a lockshield with drain off that would fit in the same space?
Thanks
