AM-TECH HEX KEY FOR RADIATORS

How to Use the AM-TECH Radiator Hex Key

Introduction

The AM-TECH Radiator Hex Key is a tool designed for adjusting and maintaining radiator valves. Follow these instructions to ensure proper use and safety.

Tools and Materials Needed

• AM-TECH Radiator Hex Key
• Protective gloves (optional)
• Cloth or paper towels (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preparation

1. Ensure the radiator is cool before starting any work to prevent burns.
2. If desired, wear protective gloves to protect your hands.
3. Gather a cloth or paper towels to clean any spills or drips during the process.

Step 2: Identify the Radiator Valve

1. Locate the valve on your radiator. This is typically found on the side or bottom of the radiator.
2. Ensure the area around the valve is clean and free of obstructions.

Step 3: Using the Hex Key

1. Insert the AM-TECH Radiator Hex Key into the valve’s hexagonal opening.
2. Turn the hex key slowly and carefully to adjust the valve. Turning clockwise generally tightens or closes the valve, while turning counterclockwise loosens or opens it.
3. Adjust the valve according to your needs, ensuring not to over-tighten or strip the valve.

Step 4: Final Checks

1. After adjusting, remove the hex key and check for any leaks or drips around the valve.
2. Use a cloth or paper towels to wipe away any excess water.
3. Ensure the radiator is functioning correctly and make any additional adjustments if necessary.

Safety Precautions

• Always ensure the radiator is off and cool before using the hex key to prevent injury.
• Do not force the hex key if it is not turning easily, as this may damage the valve.
• Keep the hex key out of reach of children and store it in a safe place when not in use.
