Default 10 mm service value


Most of my radiotors are plumbed using 10mm pipe

As I decorate the house (we only moved in a few months ago) and need
to take the raditors off the wall to paint

I would like to add service vales

Only I cant find anywhere that sells them !!!

Any suggestions

Many Thanks
Simon

Not sure why you'd want service valves on all the rads?

Use 15mm ones and reducers if you are intent on doing this.

What valves do you currently have on each pipe?

well you're going to have to drain down to fit the service valves. Might as
well just drain down and paint your wall.

Alternatively while you have drained down change the tails to Hep then next
time its easy to move the rad valve aside and stick on a temporary
lockshield valve.
