Having tightened both connections, open the bleed valve at the top of the radiator. Now open only the flow valve at the bottom of the radiator. This will be the valve used for turning the radiator on and off. This will allow the water to flow in, and air to be pushed out at the top. When water starts to leak from the bleed valve, close it. Now open the return valve at the bottom of the radiator by the same number of turns used to close it originally, allowing water to circulate through the system. Check both connections for leaks, turn on your heating and check again for leaks.
