Drayton Wiser TRV head fitting (ID that valve type)

[Craig Bruce]

I'm having my bathroom refitted and in the process replacing one radiator with a coloured (anthracite) Reina model. The pipework is also being re-routed to come horizontally out of the wall, necessitating a change to 'corner' valves (i.e. not straight or angled).

I already have a Drayton Wiser setup and the old rad had a Wiser TRV head that I plan to reuse...but the Reina Modal anthracite coloured corner TRVs that I bought have a mystery valve head:

I've contacted Drayton's helpdesk and they referred me elsewhere...

I see 2 options:
- continue trying to ID the valve and then determine if an adapter for the Wiser exists
- find an alternative corner valve (ideally anthracite) which has a Drayton valve head

For the second option I have been provided suggested part numbers for a Drayton corner valve (15mm corner left 07 15 196 or 15mm corner right 07 15 197), but they don't appear to be stocked my most of the usual suspects

Have a look on Amazon, there's quite a few there, the dimensions they show seem to match my cheapo TRV bodies ( which Wiser heads fit straight onto)

Have you tried contacting Reina? http://www.reinadesign.co.uk/valves/

Here’s a TRV corner valve, might be able to swap heads? https://www.toolstation.com/anthrac...vF62bveaXL5KRW0fTmYaAivOEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

What did you do eventually on this? I have the same valves. What exactly did Drayton support say?

The wiser trv head fits fine on these valves, however it seems to me that they don't open all the way up when demand is 100%.
