    Before you bleed your radiators, ensure your heating is turned off and your radiators have completely cooled. Although a screwdriver can be used for some modern radiators, most radiators require a radiator key to bleed. ... Once all your radiators have been bled, check the pressure of your boiler gauge.

    @@SilverlineToolsTV small question, if you don't mind. There was some air in the radiators. But one of them made the hissing air escaping sound while water was dripping out. Is there air inside or what could that be?

    Hi! Thanks for the vid! Is there a standard on how high I should turn up the radiator before doing this ?
