hi all, im looking for some help we have a bisque radiator fitted and its been in for about 12 yeas, it needs a TRV changing because it leaks only when its very cold outside.
I bought a angled valve and had a plumber come out today and he said ive had the wrong valve.
The plumber said the way it has been plumbed in there isn't much room if any to remove so will have to probably take off the wall to fit it but there isn't any give on the pipe in the wall.
I've been looking online and bisque are crazy prices for a valve, it looks like the original valve is 15mm on one side and 1/2inch on the other. Can i used an angled valve with these two measurements
I think the valve set i need is called Bisque valve set D in the nickel plated

which is there any difference to this valve

I dont actually need the TRV on it, it can just be open valve as we never need to turn up or down the heating its always on the top setting as the room is quite large and would get cold.
Ive taken some pictures of the valve against a standard 15mm x 15mm angled valve to show the difference in the size of the nut
thanks
