Anyone help me on this. Need to replace my 10mm radiator valves-not
want anything with thermastats on etc, just angled and one with a
drain off on. Looked in Screwfix catalogue 14812-85 and 12381-seem ok,
but wanted something a bitmore substancial-every time I take radiator
off the vales seep-can anyone advice on something ? or a method that I
can take off the radiator without damaging the valve. Thanks

Are you taking them off often ??? .

Make sure you support the valve while unscrewing it from the rad so
you do not twist the 10mm pipe .Thats probably whats causing the leaks
..

You could get 15mm valves and use a 10-15mm adaptor soldered on to the
10mm piping .
