Just had a major overhaul of the CH system and the plumber pointed out
the same problem to me - 2 rads on a drop from above with no drain
cock. So, as part of the overhaul included fitting TRVs and new
lockshields, he fitted one of the 'special' type. The valve is kind
of like a tee where the 'leg' attaches to the pipe, one end of the
'crossbar' attaches to the rad, and the other end of the crossbar is
the drain point.

Thanks. This sounds similar to, but not the same as, a couple of
lockshields I have found at Screwfix - 11074-47 and 82588-47.

Anyone got any views on relative merits?
