Re: [DIY] Radiator plug

 

Try tapping on the end of the plug as you apply pressure with the wrench.  It sometimes works to try tightening and then loosening until the rust bond is broken.  If you can build a clay dam around the plug and fill with turpentine you might be able to get it loose after it soaks for a day or two.

Hi Plumbers.

Can anyone advise? I'm trying to install a new freestanding radiator. I have an issue. I am trying to remove the plug that has been inserted where I wish to place my air intake valve. The radiator was delivered with the plug inserted and I am having no luck removing it. I am afraid I will strip it. I'm trying liquid wrench and no luck.

Has anybody ever had this issue. It's so frustrating. Will this need to be drilled out?

Thanks for your help.

Frank
