I cleaned out the van today and came across this,I can't for the life of me think what it's for or where it came from.It's made of steel and marked Hattersley Ormskirk LTD then 'DEL-FLO' KEY.Google seems to come up with Pegler related sites or Steam engines.I certainly haven't bought it,some it's either been given to me or came free.It's well engineered,any ideas?

Hello , i think there keys for lockshield valves , you use the prongs to undo the cap screw and the square shapes to adjust the spindles , hope this helps , they are usually industrial type rad valves , cheers mark

It is a spanner designed to operate a specific type/make of lockshild valve, the ends are
called "pin spanners"

The Del Flo Key is for a particular type of hattersley rad valve that unfortunately is no longer made.
it is used to remove the slotted screw on the balancing valve and the square is to fit over the brass valve top to open or close said valve. Hope this helps. Kind Regards Steve Mac
