Turning on radiator with old valves help

[Ed100]

Hi Guys,

About 5 years ago a plumber turned off a radiator in an unused upstairs room.

I am currently doing up the room, but i cant figure out how to turn the radiator back on! I know one valve will be the shield lock and the other main value, but i am lost what do .

If anyone can give me any advice i would be very grateful (and warm!)

Thanks!

You’ll need an adjustable spanner or a pair of pump grips, if you look at the valves there is a screw which originally would have held the cap on, the part the screw threads into is the bit you need to turn, you will need to turn anti clockwise to open.

Cheers for the reply.

Is it just the right hand value i need to open? A couple of turns?

thanks

No probs, Open both a few turns bud.
