The dog chewed a thermostatic valve on one of the central heating rads to
*uggery, I thought, mistakenly, they were all a common fitting. The dozen
or so others in the house have a band clamp with a screw through the open
ends of the clamp holding them to the bodies of the valves, the one the
darn dog chewed is unique in this house, and is held onto a groove in the
body by 2 small Allen screws. through the `stat itself. What's the chances
of matching just a `stat up, or is it a drain and change the whole valve
and `stat assembly time? Many thanks.

I'm not sure whether you buy just the thermostatic head. But if you can find
a complete valve that's the same as the one you've got, you should be able
to take the head off and fit it to your valve - thus avoiding having to
drain down.

You can sometimes find replacement heads.
