Wal-Rich Radiator Bleeding Air Valve Key Chrome Plated Lot of 5

Not sure what the material is, but I broke 2 in normal use the first time I tried them.

I was amazed to find these. So far so good. These seem to be more sturdy than others I’ve had.

I replaced several Tube and Fin baseboard radiator units with enamel coated Runtal steel (3 panel) base units. There are several places to install bleeder valves with type of installation. These compact bleeders can be installed in difficult spots since only enough room for a key or a dime to open and shut the bleeder is needed

Lowe’s only had a faucet key, which wouldn’t fit in the little socket on our baseboard radiators. These things are purpose built, so worked perfectly. Seem cheaply made, but probably good that they won’t tolerate a lot of torque, as it’s much better for your tool to fail than to damage the vent.

You betcha Red Ryder! One twist and water in hand tells me all is well.

They work as intended.

The bleeding value worked great!

happy with my purchase

If you apply any kind of torque to these, the metal will snap off. The fitting of the key goes extremely close up to the edge which is where the metal split just from turning with my hand.

This key is very nicely chrome plated. It is fairly heavy, so it is not aluminum. It is not attracted to a magnet, so it isn’t steel. Maybe zinc, or pot metal.
