Hi,
bit of a basic question this one. I bought a new radiator to swap for an older one. I thought it would be pretty simple - disconnect old from valves, drain, hang new one and reconnect. But now that I have the new radiator I see that it's not come with any connections to screw the valves onto it. It just has plastic plugs in the four corners (but does have the top bleed valve / plugs for me to fit).
I checked the how to section here and it mentions reusing the tailpieces off the old radiator. One seems to have a nut so I could probably get it off, but the other seems smooth. Could anyone give a bit more advice on how I could get these off to re-use or point me somewhere where I can buy new ones (as a quick google has drawn a blank for me).
Thanks!
