Hi Guys. Sorry for such a long first post.
We have a 24 year old 10mm microbore ch system and on the advice of a plumber I’m going to change the rads a room at a time, as and when we decorate, to slowly achieve a more efficient system. I’m aware that modern metric rads will require an extender to get from the valve to the rad, but herein lies my problem.
The existing valves terminate in a 25mm male thread, with the rad tails (obviously) having a matching female. Modern rad tails, valves and valve extensions all appear to be 15mm. To replace the existing rad valves would require draining the system down every time I wish to change a radiator, so...
Is there such a thing as a Chrome 25mm extension tail? If not, does anyone have a suggestion that doesn’t involve changing the valves?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Ps. When I say “25mm” that’s measuring across the thread with a tape.
