My bleeder valve connected to the baseboard heating is leaking. How easy is it to change the valve. Attached you will see a picture of the valve.

    auto vent

    Thats an auto vent, you dont want that there, relplace it with a key vent, coin vent or 1/8 inch jomar valve ( ball valve).  you will need to drain the system press. and lower the loop temp. when the job is done you will need to vent and purge system. recommend you get a pro   not a job for a homeowner

    Sorry should have been clearer, its 1/8 inch ball valve, male x female or use a 1/4 inch and reduce
