    Is there anyway to work around rounded off bleed valves on a Quinn round top radiator?

    Someone suggested self tapping screw into the rad itself but I wouldn't be too happy about doing that. Is replacing the rad my only option? Cheers.

    You should be able to get new bleed valves that you can drill and tap into a rad to fit a new bleed valve. May be a job for a plumber though.

    Yes the dreaded barlo type bleeder, made from putty and begs to be over tightened!:rolleyes: Does this mean a radiator replacement ? or is there an easier way ?

    There are three options that I know of. Drill a small hole in the top of the rad and screw in a stainless steel self tapper with a small o ring or some ptfe tape as a seal. Next option is to drill a larger hole and solder in a new vent and third is to replace the rad. I've used the self tapper option many times where the customer didn't want the expense of changing the rad and I've never had a problem with it.
