I've got a big towel radiator (with pipes that go straight down and into
the floor) and want to change the lockshield valve for one with a drain
point - but I can't find a straight lockshield with a drain off. Any
suggestions?
Is is possible to get a fitting to get a rad tail with a drain off?

Your local Plumbers Merchant.
Mine has everything I could possibly imagine.

Went to Plumb Center this morning, and Homebase; also looked on Screwfix
and Toolstation sites. Straight LSVs w/o drain offs and angled LSVs with
drain-offs are easy, but not straight LSVs with drain-offs.

I've just found some tails with integral ball valves, this may solve the
problem if I can't find anything else.
