while attempting to bleed a radiator the top of the bleed valve that fits the push button snapped!The bottom half remains contained by the radiator. Any advice on how to rectify this problem?.
Answers: If it is the type that fits into a nut shaped point at the end of the radiator, or into a tiny nut shaped article at the side, you can turn off the valve, remove the nut and change it, if it is on the spinal column of the radiator panel, a new radiator is required.
this will be extremely sturdy to remove due to the valve self so thin,you could try to remove it by adjectives a thin slot contained by it with a junior hacksaw and afterwards remove it with a flat guide screw driver,but that all depends on how much of the outmoded valve is accessible,failing that buy a replacement radiator,drilling etc will only damage the stopcock seat and render the radiator crumb anyway.
