I've search on the internet for many hours but cannot find the solution I need.
I have got a very old radiator in my house that fell off the wall. I have managed to take it off completely but the valve that connects to the copper pipe is damaged and needs replacing. It is an old style on and the threads on it are about an inch in diameter.
I have taken out the tail pipe to the radiator using a very large allen key and the hole in the radiator is 3/4 inch. I have searched the internet for hours for a solution but cannot find a product to buy without replacing the whole radiator (but then there is the issue of imperial to metric sizes). I thought I might be able to buy a tail pipe connection that has a 3/4 thread on one side and 1/2 pipe on the other, but cannot find them. I also thought I would simply be able to buy a valve with the old connectors but I cannot seem to find one.
Can anyone help me with a solution?
Thanks
