Connecting Radiator

[matt204]

Hi, just after a little help. I was supposed to have a plumber come around to plumb in a radiator today but did not turn up! I think I am going to have to do it myself now. I have put the radiator on the wall and the pipes are ready in the right location, just capped off.

I have been informed that I need a TRV with a lockshield on the other end with a drain off valve. I don't seem to find any in Screwfix or B&Q. Will a plumber's merchants be able to supply one?

Also, with a bi-directional valve, does it matter what end I mount the valves? Does the bleed valve need to go either of the trv or lockshield valve?

Many thanks.

You can get them from screwfix

But your local merchant should have some as well. Give them a ring before you go if you're worried.
