Many thanks for this! I am hardly confident when it comes to DIY, but thanks to you I understood the problem and managed to replace the valve (no instruction included with the replacement valve either, they seem to assume that everyone who does this is a trained plumber...). A lot of other DIY films on youtube assume you want to replace your whole radiator and don't focus on this part. It's not complex per se but it is when you have to find out what the issue is in the first place. Many thanks for your clear instructions!
I have a very similar issue, and assumed it was as simple to change as you show, but I'm glad to have seen physical evidence that it works the way I thought it would. Brilliant!
The valves are poor they all go in the end some very soon after fitting..they are/were on the rt212 but they have updated version that does away with all that insert. Lets face it very very rarely do any other brand valves fail this way

Thank you so much for this video, it has literally answered all my questions and I’ve managed to fix the radiator. 🤩

This is great thanks. The radiator will take a while to cool down though so hold on tight.
Let me know when it’s sorted
@@mrwhatevah6095 Works like a dream. thanks!
Did the same thing as you, easy and quick, the question remains, why did they broke? Mine lasted no more than 5 yrs...
Later, thx
Same , this is my 2nd, dunno, maybe plastic component tends to get brittle 😢
Thank you
You're welcome
A first class video, I now feel confident to fit a new head myself. Thank you
Hi
We gave the same valve but it is leaking. Would we have to replace the head or should we tighten the existing one? Thanks
Sorry typo. Have*
Personally, I would get a new valve ( again, I am not a plumber, however , I will get a new )
The valves are poor they all go in the end some very soon after fitting..they are/were on the rt212 but they have updated version that does away with all that insert. Lets face it very very rarely do any other brand valves fail this way
I agree with you, this one will last long as I don’t turn this on on often due to heating cost.
