Hi all,
While I’m replacing some radiators I was going to take the opportunity to add a drain cock. I’m using solder ring fittings. In assembling everything ready to heat, the one I have bought is quite loose in the equal t fitting it is going into.
It certainly isn’t a nice snug fit like a pipe into a fitting.
Do you think the solder ring will be enough to seal and hold it (it is also relatively heavy) or is it meant for end feed or compression?
Any quick response appreciated as this is the final part of the jigsaw and the wife wants hot water!!
Many thanks.
