Thanks John I've had a look at the site and we're really considering using their stuff. I would prefer thermostate valves that do not have a plastic clip on bottom, the last ones did and once the plastics been heated up a few times I suppose it must get brittle and that's why the...

It will not work John, I've tried to access it myself. I've sent an image via admin, hopefully they will put it on. But we are very interested in the valves etc you have shown, what is the full name of the company and are they on the internet?

Now I understand what you mean. I did not try to unscrew the piece in the radiator as I thought it was all one piece of the radiator. Do I just unscrew it and will it come out easily?

The 22mm is on the radiator not on the thermostate. At B&Q the ordinary radiator valves were 22mm, but the thermostatic valves were 15mm or had a reducer to 10mm.

We have just fitted a new pump after suffering a very cold christmas with no heating. Our system is up and running beautifuly, all the rads have been bled, all running well, accept one rad, it appears to be the last one and although we have bled it several times and been able to get hot water...
