Default Radiator valve

Any idea where I can get these:

The valve is branded Altech. It's more the elbow bit that connects the
valve to the 10mm plastic pipe that I'm after.

The vertical on that will likely be plain 15mm tube held by the
compression joint in the rad valve, with 10mm pushfit on the other end.
Technically a 15mm to 10mm chrome street elbow.

Chrome elbow 10mm pushfit gets:

If like me you prefer not to use ebay then this looks the same:

Technically described as 10mm but the relative sizes in the pic suggest
a 15mm tail with 10mm pushfit (check before you buy) or try a further
search based on those terms.

It looks like a "normal" TRV with 15mm compression fitting on the
bottom, into which is currently connected a 15mm "street" (i.e. male
pipe fitting rather than the normal female) elbow with a 10mm push fit
connector on the other end.

You want another one, or simply to reuse the existing one (which you
probably can if you undo the bottom nut on the TRV)

Yep - it's the push fit bit I'm after. Thanks other 2 posters, but
that's the main thing.

I bought some about 6 months ago from Screwfix but can't for the life of
me find them listed there or I would send a link. They (and
Tollstation) both list the straight ones, but I can only see the right
angle ones indicated as supplied with a valve.

A good plumbers merchant should have them, I'm sure.

Well, others have given you several links - *some* of which may be what
you want.

I can't quite tell from the photo whether the compression fitting on the
radiator valve itself is 10mm or 15mm. Which is it?

If it's 10, you need an elbow with a 10mm tube one end and a 10mm
pushfit the other end.

If it's 15, you need an elbow with a 15mm tube one end and a 10mm
pushfit the other end.

What you *don't* want is 15mm both ends if the supply pipes are 10mm.

I think they are - the 15mm 'plain' to 10mm push fit. I've never tackled
plumbing before, so this is all new to me.

15mm

Yes, thanks. And thanks all for the links.
