Reply with quote Thanks

Hi
Iam trying to replace an old radiator, but the new radiator does not have the same connection as the old. On the return side, there is no nut to screw onto the valve, and no thread to screw anything into. Is there some adaptor or something I should have. Any advice appreciated.

You have to screw the new valves into the rad (using an allen key) and then fit existing pipework to it.

Modify pipework if you have to. icon_biggrin.gif
