I stand back, sipping a cuppa thoughtfully provided by my lovely wife,
admiring my two newly installed radiators sporting some of the most
complex pipework and soldering I have ever dared attempt, and then it
dawns on me.

I didn't put in any draincocks.....

Arghhhhhhh......

Can you not use these?

I'm surprised nobody makes a two-piece drain that just clamps around a
pipe and seals "from the outside" - fit and then take the drain plug off
and drill a drain-hole through the pipe beneath.

I'd be surprised if modern materials couldn't make it work. Heck, you
could even solder it I suppose. Maybe there's just no market for it.
