I am about to fit an EP LHS radiator hose with bleed valve. However, looking at the valve it does not appear to have a sound/recognisable sealing system. The ali screw goes into the ali body of the valve but there is no o-ring or rubber seal and the end of the screw is not a cone as per brake bleed valves.
