BLEED VALVE REPAIR KIT FOR CAST IRON RADIATORS 1/8″ BSP (With Tap Wrench)

BLEED VALVE REPAIR KIT FOR CAST IRON RADIATORS 1/8″ BSP

Many older cast iron radiators have bleed valves set deep into the bleed bush, making them almost impossible to remove without risking further damage. This kit gives you a clean, reliable way to create a brand‑new bleed point — no specialist tools or expensive repairs needed.

What This Kit Does

Our Bleed Valve Repair Kit lets you drill and tap a fresh bleed point directly into the radiator body, bypassing the damaged original valve entirely. The whole repair typically takes around 20 minutes.

What’s Included

• HSS drill bit – for drilling a clean, accurate hole
• ⅛” BSP tap – to cut a fresh internal thread
• Tap wrench – to hold and turn the tap securely
• ⅛” BSP bleed valve – your new, fully functional bleed point
• PTFE tape – for sealing the threads (LSX sealant can also be used)

How It Works

1. Drill a new hole using the supplied HSS drill bit.
2. Cut a fresh ⅛” BSP thread using the tap and tap wrench.
3. Fit the new bleed valve, sealing the threads with PTFE tape or LSX sealant.
4. Repair complete — your radiator is ready to bleed again.
