Microbore Radiator Valves - TRV?
Hi,
The pipe that feeds water to the far end of one of my radiators has become corroded to the point of disintegration. I plan to get a new valve (dual entry) to replace the current one. Do these come with the required pipe? Where can I get these valves? Is it possible to get thermostatic valves for an 8mm microbore dual entry system? Again, where are these available? Many thanks in advance, Max |

The pipe inside my radiators is nylon. The end is filed to a taper and it then threads itself into the valve inlet. I needed to replace one in a hurry 3 years ago and ended up scrounging a used one from a plumber who was changing a system. Might be available from IMI Yorkshire (look in Valves 1469 part number) Maxitwin radiator valve. compression inlet x BSP taper male union outlet. Available in plain and chrome plated finish. -- Regards John --- All of my outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Many thanks in advance, Max As far as I am aware,there is no such thing as a dual entry TRV. Regarding the type of valve of which you speak,it is common practice to use a length of 8mm or is it 10mm microbore tubing as a replacement for the bit of pipe that slots inside the rad,such it have got lost/damaged. A bit of microbore is a snug twist fit in the valve. Failing that,if you want TRV,then youll have to re=pipe the rad with a vavle at each end and ditch the twin entry vavle.. joe |
