I'm hoping to replace existing old-style lockshield/wheelhead valves with TRVs. Just got a sample cheap TRV from toolstaion (link below) and the distance between valve and radiator is several cm wider than existing traditional valves.
So are most TRvs not a direct replacement for existing pipework with traditional lockshields? DOes that mean I need two ugly elbows to widen the pipework out to accomodate a TRV?
Any help much appreciated.
