Can't you get the shorter one and pad the ends out with a couple if
tailpieces each end?..

Hi Tony,
I thought of this but the only tails I know of (from screwfix) are not
long enough:

Pipe centres = 1987mm
Pipe centre to bottom of socket = 15mm
Rad = 1800mm

Hence: 1987 - (2x15) - 1800 = 157

Therefore each tail needs to have a 78.5mm extension

The total length of the srewfix one is about 50mm - it would need to
be about 25mm longer to be long enough.

Anyone know of any tails this long?

I think it would work to use one of these minus nut and olive in the
radiator, followed by chrome pipe to the required length, then a
compression rad valve such ashttp://www.screwfix.com/prods/49258
(without the first section obviously)

That looks like it might do the job, I think all I would need is the
extension bit from the product you showed plus the tail I was looking
at http://www.screwfix.com/prods/15531/...il-Compression
Then I could just adjust the length to suit.

I'll check it out and post how I get on

Cheers,

Kev
