FAQs
How do I know if my radiator needs bleeding?
If your radiator has cold spots, especially at the top, it likely needs bleeding.

It is compatible with most standard radiator valves. However, specialized valves may require a different key.
What should I do if water comes out?
Close the valve immediately and have a cloth ready to catch any spills.
How often should I bleed my radiators?
It depends on usage, but generally, bleeding radiators once or twice a year, or when you notice cold spots, is sufficient.
What if the key breaks?
The pack includes 5 keys, so you have spares. If all keys break, you'll need a replacement set.

Warranty information is not available in the provided product details.
Troubleshooting
Radiator key doesn't fit the valve.
Check the valve type; the key may not be compatible with all valve designs. You might need a different key.
