I'm going round in circles on this one....
We're installing new column radiators and want to add some nice vintage looking valves to go with them - corner valves so we can run the pipework into the wall. I can only find one company that does traditional corner TRVs, and these are the valves we like:
https://www.castrads.com/valves/windsor-antique-brass-corner-trv/
My problem lies in the 1 rad in our system that we want a non-TRV fitting (thermostat room). The company doesn't do 'manual' corner valves in this same style... and of course we want all radiators to look the same with pipework into the wall not the floor (which rules out the angled manual valve which they do sell in this style).
As the lockshields are left mounting only, we can't even use 2 x lockshields for the room stat radiator.
Any suggestions? I can only think of somehow hacking the corner TRV and turning it into a manual... is this possible?
Or buying the angled valve and having the plumber put a 'u' bend to trace it back into the wall again before it reaches the floor... but i imagine this would mean the radiator would need to be fitted quite high??
