Unusual radiator plumbing qn.
I am intstalling a long radiatior under a long window. The window will have a venetian blind, so curtains will not be necessary - except that I want to hang a narrow, floor-length curtain (permanently drawn open) at each end of the window, just for looks. Unfortunately, this would cover a TRV if fitted, so I envisage running the 15mm pipe from the radiator horizontally for about 15", then have a TRV at the end of that pipe. Then below the TRV, the pipe will run directly downwards through the floorboards. Question 1: Will a normal TRV do for this purpose - or should I try to find a thermostatic valve that is designed to be fitted in-line (couldn't find such a valve at B.E.S.) Question 2: Pipes from radiators usually run downwards, and so most valves are designed with the inlet or outlet pointing downwards. Does anyone know where I can buy one with an inlet/oulet running parallel to the floor? (I couldn't find one at B.E.S.) Thank you Frank |
