Guys,
Just bought a designer radiator and it look the dogs danglers. Going to fit
it this week but in the instructions it says "if valves like this then know
out the internal diverter". Valves look like ordinary common or garden rad
valves in the black and white diagram. No further explanation given.
Picture is a bit unclear and so am I !!! When I look inside the radiator
there is a sort of knockout piece ( a bit like the metal bits that you knock
out of a electrical wall metal box) exactly half way down the vertical pipe
that the rad valve screws into.

What on earth is this knockout piece for? Why would I want to keep it in
place. Or why would I?

Thanks for any advice.

You might be on to something there mate. Put it this way, the valves can be
put into the rad in a million different ways! I want to use opposite ends so
I think you are right.
Cheers,
KS

Could it be you leave the diverter in place if you are using a combined
flow/return valve at one end, and knock it out if you are using
conventional flow and return valves at opposite ends?

I also apologise for my bad spelling....

The spelling we can live with, but not the top posting in this group!
