How to replace a radiator valve?

To replace it, you need :

• A pliers
• A pliers crescent wrench
• A hexagon key
• A PTFE tape
• A cup
• A purge key
• A wipe

Steps to be followed:

• First, drain the heating circuit
• Unscrew slowly the conical bolting between the radiator and the faucet, to let the water run.
• Unscrew and remove the water faucet and block the coupling with another pliers.
• Check if the conical bolting is compatible with the new faucet. If everything is ok you don’t have to change the bolting. You may use a hexagon key or a nipple key according to your model
• Install the new conical bolting. If it is self-sealing, you don’t have to put PTFE tape
• Remove the old seal on the pipe coupling
• Put the tape and turn it clockwise
• Screw the new head manually, then tighten with the pliers. Make sure the fitting is facing the conical bolting.
• You can install one thermostatic head to realize savings
• Fill your heating circuit then drain the radiator
