Anyone know where I can get a new bleeder valve for slant fin baseboard, I broke the screw head when tightening it shut, not sure of the model but it looks like the fine line/30 from the pics online, slant fin brand

Sure a regular bleeder valve won't fit? I'd be kind of surprised it it didn't.Br. Jamie, osb

Thanks! It looks like a regular 1/8 threaded bleeder so I went ahead and ordered one. I guess I can just unscrew it and screw the new one in? I imagine I’ll have to be quick so I don’t get a bath lol0

I would at the least drop the pressure and do it with a cold system. Doing it live you may get burned and at the very least you will be spraying dirty water all around. What if you can't get the thread started?0 -
If you can shut off the expansion tank that would help alot and open the boiler drain until the tridicator gauge read O psi.0
