Broken Radiator bleed screw

[radiatorman]

I have a radiator with a broken bleed screw, any ideas on a replacement bleed screw housing.

The radiator is approx 5 years old and came from a trade supplier, who I cannot recall.

3 photos are attached.


Thanks

Pretty sure that's a 1/8th bsp air tap. Most good merchants will stock a brass replacement.

My local merchants stock them. No problems getting hold of spares. Looks like Myson About £2 each.

Sure it is one of the newer Myson rads with a fully removable air screw & bushing.
The air screw is very thin & weak on those.
Myson supply them free. They come in chrome finish (painted white on new rad only)

Exactly what I thought. Although i've never had trouble getting these the couple of times *cough* my apprentice *cough* has snapped them.
