How to bleed a towel radiator?

Bleeding a towel radiator involves releasing trapped air to improve its heating efficiency. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Steps to Bleed Your Towel Radiator

1. Gather Your Tools: You'll need a radiator key and a bleed bowl (or a small container) to catch any water that comes out.

2. Locate the Bleed Nipple: This is usually a small valve located at the top of one end of the radiator.

3. Prepare to Bleed: Position the bleed bowl underneath the bleed nipple to catch any escaping water.

4. Open the Bleed Nipple: Insert the radiator key into the bleed nipple and turn it anti-clockwise. According to the reference ([Part of a video titled How To Bleed a Heated Towel Rail #shorts - YouTube]()), you should hear a hissing sound, which indicates air is escaping.

5. Release the Air: Continue turning the key until water starts to come out instead of air.

6. Close the Bleed Nipple: Once water appears, close the bleed nipple by turning the key clockwise. Do not overtighten.

7. Check the Pressure: After bleeding, check the pressure on your boiler's gauge. If it's too low, you may need to add water to the system.

8. Repeat if Necessary: If the radiator still isn't heating correctly, repeat the process.

By following these steps, you can efficiently bleed your towel radiator and ensure it heats properly.
