Radiator bleed valve

    Over time the bleed valve on one of our rads has changed shape from a square to a circle so I can no longer use the bleed "key" anymore. Anyone any idea how to fix this or come up with a possible workaround?

    Turn off the rad at both ends.
    Get a very small box of sockets, and a grip plyers, and pull the closest fitting socket(generally 1/4" drive) over the vent, and then screw it out.
    Replace with a similar vent and dont tighten so much next time!
    Note: If you are constantly venting rads, you may have a system fault or mwybe a small leak.
