Have a leak coming from the pipe as it enters the valve, tried nipping it u a bit, but did not stop the leak, so need to replace valve, have located a drain point so plan to drain the system to allow me to change the valve
However its a pretty old radiator and the old valve connects to the radiator with a 3/4" inch nut, most of the valves I have seen are 1/2". I have managed to get a valve with a tail that I assumw goes into the radiator? ans has a 3/4" nut. I was hoping that I can just remove the old valve, not use the new tail and connect the new value straight to it. Do you think this will work, or am I going about this the wrong way?
Thanks
