Friend has a leaking radiator valve, the radiators and valves are ancient.
Couldn’t find a drain, so had to manually drain from this valve. Took it off, went and got a new radiator valve, but couldn’t screw it on.
It looks like the threads are different, is this so with a, what looks like, is a Mistral valve which is written on the adjuster?
I put it back on but still leaking. I’ve went on toolstation and found they have “Pegler Mistral 2” is this the same type? Are the threads different from standard rad valves today, as the one I originally got looks thicker threads compared to the one removed?
The connection into the actual radiator is caked and I don’t want to risk trying to remove that, they would have to pay a plumber to do that, and/or replace the whole radiator.
btw I’m not a plumber, just do basic DIY, just helping friend out!
Thanks
