I am about to replace old rad valves with Danfoss TRV's.
The system is 8mm copper microbore.
To fit the 8mm pipe the TRV's come with a brass adaptor rather than a separate olive. The adaptor is supposed to 'collapse' and seal against the pipe like an olive when tightened but it looks quite a meaty brass fitting.
Danfoss just say tighten it up and it'll be ok.
Has anyone had any experience with this type of adaptor? Have you found it reliable as far as creating a water tight seal and did you use any special measures to ensure the seal?
