new radiator too short-help please

[blurayaddict]

hi can someone give me some adivce please

i have just replaced my old rad{1130mm} with new one {1100} so now it is a bit too short to reach the valves---i have looked on wickes and b&q web site to see if they stock Union Valve Tails ,but they do not seem to have them--could i just use a -- compression straight connector instead as they have these--would this do the trick---thanks





ok well went to screwfix got one of these

You can get 20mm,30mm and 40mm rad valve extensions from all factors however if you are not fussed what it looks like you can use 15mmx1/2" female iron to copper , just take off the nut and olive and make the joint with ptfe tape and screw into rad the valve tail will go into the female end , probably one each end for 30mm

you can get these in chrome too, so wouldn't look as rough!
