Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size radiator valves do these bleed keys fit?

A: These radiator bleed keys feature a 5×5mm square socket and are designed to fit EU-standard radiator bleed valves. They are compatible with the vast majority of standard hot-water radiators found in European-style heating systems.

Q: How do I use a radiator bleed key?

A: Insert the square socket end of the bleed key into the bleed valve located at the top end of your radiator. Place a cloth or small container beneath the valve to catch any drips. Slowly turn the key counter-clockwise (about a quarter to half turn) until you hear a hissing sound — that's trapped air escaping. Once water begins to flow steadily, close the valve by turning the key clockwise. Always exercise caution as the water may be warm.

Q: Why is it useful to have two bleed keys?

A: Radiator bleed keys are small and compact, making them easy to misplace. Having two in the set means you can keep one in a convenient location (such as near your boiler or utility area) and store the other as a spare in your toolbox — so you're always prepared when it's time for routine radiator maintenance.

Q: Are these keys durable enough for regular use?

A: Yes. These keys are made from zinc alloy with an anodized finish, which provides excellent resistance to corrosion and everyday wear. They are built to be a long-lasting addition to any home maintenance toolkit.
