Radiator valve
Any idea where I can get these:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/47717472@N03/9869320953/ The valve is branded Altech. It's more the elbow bit that connects the valve to the 10mm plastic pipe that I'm after. -- Cheers, Rob |

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: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DRAYTON-PU...-/120968002040 If like me you prefer not to use ebay then this looks the same: http://www.wickes.co.uk/drayton-10mm...e/invt/228603/ 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. -- fred it's a ba-na-na . . . . |

The valve is branded Altech. It's more the elbow bit that connects the valve to the 10mm plastic pipe that I'm after. You want another one, or simply to reuse the existing one (which you probably can if you undo the bottom nut on the TRV) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

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

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. |

It's more the elbow bit that connects the valve to the 10mm plastic pipe that I'm after. 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. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup. Whilst email address is valid, it is seldom checked. |

I think they are - the 15mm 'plain' to 10mm push fit. I've never tackled plumbing before, so this is all new to me. I can't quite tell from the photo whether the compression fitting on the radiator valve itself is 10mm or 15mm. Which is it? 15mm 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.
