Hello,

Can anyone help me? I am looking for a vertical radiator valve with
drain to fit to a towel radiator so that I can drain and remove the
radiator when I want to decorate without having to drain the whole
system. I have seen horizontal versions for "traditional" radiators
but vertical versions are proving much harder to find.

Thanks in advance,
Stephen.

By 'vertical' do you simply mean 'in-line' rather than 'angled'? If so, how
about something like

Yes, thank you. I realise now that you can fit any valve in any axis
but at the time I was thinking that angled valves are normally aligned
horizontally and straight valves vertically but you knew what I meant.
These are what I am looking for thought they seem a bit long or is
that because the photo shows the tail?

It does look a bit long - I agree. But I guess it has to be like that. As
you say, it shows the thread on the tail - which will be inside the rad - so
that makes it looks even longer. But the tail is necessarily longer than a
standard one on account of having the drain-off in the middle. And the body
of a straight valve is longer than that of an angled one due to having a
connection each end.

I'm about to fit some angled drain-off valves, and they are the same size as
normal ones, apart from having the drain sticking out at the side.
