Hi Mark, Not knowing what others are telling you about how the valves work it is difficult to say what is correct. The valve should be high on the radiators. This is where air pockets will rise to. With the system running you open the valve and allow the air to his out until you get water. Collect a cup or two of the water just to be sure there aren't a few burps of air left in the rad. This can be done to all rads but in particular go for the highest ones in the building first this may be enough. ----- Original Message ----- From: mark To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 11:03 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] removing air from heating systyem hey gang can anyone share some any info on the self bleeder valves that are made for hot water radiator heating system do they work as i have been told some people around here say yes and some say no can anyone share thanks mark [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
