radiator extension piece

[mutley racers]

Anyone know of a good make that does not leak. I know it's pretty much a diy fix but the client wants it done this way rather than a drain down. They are behind raditor covers so won't be seen.

Just the solid one piece tails are best. - The same as ordinary tails, only longer.
Myson makes them & for some reason supply a 15mm chrome nut & olive with them for to the rad valve (rad valve has nuts anyway),
Other way would be to use male 15mm straights into rad & pieces of pipe from them & into the 15mm rad valves & you could do it in chrome. Not as solid as long tails though.
I always try to match rads with identical rad, or very close size & with the longer Myson tails, but I have had a few that required chrome male sts & a few inches of chrome pipe. People tend to, as you know, put down tiles, or oak flooring or new carpets & then want a new rad to replace an ancient over long obsolete 9 foot single rad & don't want the floors disturbed. :smile:

The end of my rad valve is a 22mm union. So I am in need of these fixed piece extension kits

just use the chrome solid m/f socket they come in 25 and 50 mm i think or if its not going to show stack some brass tap extenders

I use these ones and never had a problem, not expensive and keep a set of different sizes in my van just incase.

 

[mutley racers]

So these go into the rad and then the valve tail goes into this is it

I thought I was going to be laughed at posting this thread. I got more replies than expected

 

[stevetheplumber]

those are the one i meant as well the adjustable ones are useless as they cab still move after fitting and any strain on the pipe puts them at an angle

Judging by the amount of views you have probably helped a few others out to!

Just bought some today from Williams. Comes in 10, 15, 20, 25 & 30mm lengths. You'll need a 12mm allen key to tighten it up though (or the Rothenberger Uni Spanner for the shorter extensions).

As the rad valves are the large flange type, I suppose you could also consider just swapping them for the 15mm tail type rad valves. Then the larger 15mm tail would be easy to cut if it needs slightly smaller.
The large flange valves could be exended by using chrome female on to the valves tail & a male st. Wouldn't look brilliant though.

Or you can just tighten it up when you tighten the tail.

Indeed - only about 1/3 of our product portfolio makes it into the book. If I make the book over 96 pages, it costs a fortune! However, the website has about 90% of the stuff we stock.
