Plumbing Accessories

Successful plumbing work depends as much on having the right accessories and tools as on having the correct pipe and fittings. At the DIY Hardware Store, our plumbing accessories range covers the radiator keys, meter box keys, multi-function plumber's tools, hose washers, and the small but essential accessories that support domestic plumbing installation and maintenance work.

A radiator key is the simple square-drive tool used to open the bleed valve on a radiator, releasing trapped air that prevents the radiator from heating fully. Every home with a central heating system should have one - bleeding radiators is one of the most basic and effective heating maintenance tasks any homeowner can carry out themselves. Meter box keys open the standard plastic lock on UK utility meter boxes, giving access for meter reading and stopcock operation. The 4-way plumber's tool combines square radiator key, stopcock turning slot, and other common plumbing drive formats in a single compact tool.
