One of my jobs the air vent that goes in end of rad was hard to catch the first screw. What size thread is it so I can buy a tap? Would my plumbing supply house have a tap for it?

    If you own a tap and die set you may already have a 1/8" tap

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    If the threads are crappy you may have to drill and tap it 1/4npt and bush it down
