Thank you, but I really want to avoid draining down the system and changing the valves at this point.
Do you have an example of the reducing insert you suggest?

Hi all,
I need to reignite this thread as today I removed the radiator, armed with a few options and am a little stumped. I cant see that any of the suggestions previously mentioned would work.
Situation is as follows....
Radiator valve is exposed with a 3/4 male thread.
1/2 to 15mm extension is installed into the radiator
I need some way to connect the 3/4 male thread to the 15mm extension.
I did try the following product which would have worked I believe, but I found out that the 3/4 female side was too deep so it wasn't possible to get a good connection before the adapter starts hitting the part of the valve that twists to open.

Really struggling to find a suitable solution, any further help would be appreciated!

Will grab a photo later when I can get in the room, but essentially I have a 3/4 male thread on the valve and want to attach the 15mm radiator tail.
