Can you get these in the UK?

Hi Experts...

After seeing these while in Greece I've struggled to find them available in the UK?

This is the only image of something simlar I could find.

Basically, it would allow me to plumb only one side of the radiator using the top and bottom values as the input and output and save having piping running under the radiatior and above the concrete floor.

Cheers for any help!

Place of Origin- Don`t think they would catch on here. Top/Bottom opposite end valves is the nearest we in Blighty come to that type of Johnny Foreigner layout

Reminiscent of twin entry valves used on some microbore systems, but using the top tapping instead of the internal tube inserted in the bottom of the radiator.....

So is there a method for the UK to let me plumb just one end of the Radiator?

Top/Bottom same end is used when rads are tested to BS EN442 Standard. The obsolete BS3528 used to specify TBOE for testing.

There is only 1% to 2% difference in the outputs for the various configurations. Flow must go in the top connection if TBSE or TBOE is used.

I can't see any need for a fancy connector. Just bring both pipes up at the same end and run the flow behind the return up to the top.

So I could just put the return in the top of the radiator and the input into the top?

I don't need to do anything different to it?

NO.

Flow (input) connects to the top

Return (output) connects to the bottom.

Cheers for this!
