I've got a couple of valves that look a lot like these:

(They fell out of the plumber's van so I do not have a make)

Anyone know where I can get non turny caps for those? This rad is
supposed to stay on as a shunt (though we do have an auto bypass as well
so not going to blow up)

The valve stem ends in a square rather than a rectangle. Just need nice
chrome caps that don't allow the valve to be operated - they're too easy
to knock right now.

Tighten up the glands and the knobs will become harder to turn and less
likely to get knocked.

My daughter has two chrome heated towel rails in her house, both have
those at each end, I imagine for esthetic rather than functional
reasons.

If you have turny caps you could just run a suitable twist drill in the
stem hole to remove the square. Then tack in place with a splodge of
silicone.
