Bleeding bathroom radiator

LindsayT

Does anyone know how to bleed this type of radiator please? I'm fine with radiators that take a key but this doesn't.

The radiator part is hot but the towel part is lukewarm.

If you go to the Q&As and search for 'bleed' it does answer this question. Answer is as follows:

"The air vent on the bathroom radiator is positioned on the side of the top right hand knuckle, and you will require a radiator valve key (16909)."

It seems that's just a standard radiator key so it must be a standard valve.

Thanks for your reply but I knew if it had been on the side, I would have seen it. However, after reading your reply, I had a better look and had to feel for it. It is on the top right side but actually underneath the towel rail part, so I don't think their answer explained it properly but thanks again.

Sounds like you may have solved your problem, but I found this information about the air in radiators which does go into some detail about bleeding including towel rails, which it appears you have there:

Anyway sorry if it's too late, but maybe it will help you or someone else in the future.
