8mm microbore & 10mm valves

[RACLAYTON]

Hi,
I'm changing some radiator valves.
My CH system is 8mm microbore throughout.
I've been given some 10mm valves.
Can these be made to fit with, say, 8mm olives instead of the 10mm ones?
Other ideas very welcome.
Cheers,
Roger

Use a 10 to 8 reducing set any merchants should sell them.
Its a fancy brass olive that snaps onto pipe on tightening

Just get a piece of 10mm copper, solder it onto the 8mm tube & Bob is a very close relative.

Thanks guys.
I think I'll just get some 8mm valves after all.
Great to get your prompt replies.
Thanks again.
