FAQs

What types of valves does this key fit?

The Monument Universal Radiator Key fits 3/8 in and 10 mm square section radiator vent plugs, bleed screws, bayonet or internal lug type radiator valves, and 12mm to 14mm internal hexagon valves.

How do I use the key to bleed a radiator?

Insert the appropriate profile of the key into the bleed screw. Turn the key slowly counter-clockwise until you hear air escaping, then tighten gently once water starts to flow.

What should I do if the key doesn't fit my radiator valve?

Double-check the valve type. It may not be compatible with this universal key. Consult a professional if needed.

How do I care for the key?

Wipe the key clean after each use and store it in a dry place to prevent rust.

Can I use this key on all radiator types?

While the key is designed to be universal, it may not fit every single valve type. Check the compatibility information.

What is the purpose of the tapered ends?

The tapered ends are self-restricting and help ensure a secure grip, preventing damage from over-tightening.

What if the valve is still leaking after I tighten it?

The valve may be worn out. If the leak persists, consider replacing the valve or contacting a professional.

Troubleshooting

Key does not fit the valve.

Check the valve type. Ensure the key's profile matches the valve. Try a different profile on the key.

Key slips while turning the valve.

Ensure the key is fully engaged with the valve. Apply firm, even pressure while turning. Check for any obstructions or debris in the valve.

Valve is stuck and won't turn.

Apply penetrating oil to the valve and wait a few minutes before attempting to turn it again. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the valve.
