Lock shield valve with brass cap - Brand?
My house has some purpose made lockshield valves on some of the radiators.
Unlike many lockshield valves which are just normal radiator valves with a different plastic cap, these are brass valves with a screw down (with spanner) brass cap. The brass cap contains a seal. To adjust the valve you remove the brass cap and then use a screw driver to turn an internal screw. I would like to buy some more of these, can anyone tell me a brand name (not Pegler!) or where they have seen one for sale? -- Michael Chare |

Theirs are chrome plated, not brass, and roughly 1/2" diameter whereas I think yours are larger. |

I tried several local plumbers merchants and they were unable to help! You have identified what looks like a better alternative. -- Michael Chare |
