Hello,

Removed a radiator 2 years ago whilst some replastering was done. Redecorating took longer than expected but now finally ready to refit the rad. However, I've forgotten how many turns the lockshield valve required. What's the best thing to do in this instance?

[lets have a look]

just give it one turn,if it's hot and the others are job done
