Hi all,
I have a problem that I'm hoping someone can help with.
Basically, I am trying to replace an old radiator&valves. The problem I'm having is that the old radiator valves are a completely different size to what I can find available.
I have 8mm microbore pipe that is currently connected to the old radiator valves.
I'm trying to fit the following TRV/valve;
http://www.screwfix.com/p/danfoss-ras-c-white-chrome-trv-lockshield-8-10mm-angled/53183
The old valve is currently connect as follows from the top - Valve>Olive>Nut
I understand that the Danfoss has the 8mm adapter which replaces an olive, but I just cannot work out how this securely fits to the 8mm pipe as the nut is much bigger than the old valve so I can't seem to get it to lock to the pipe when I tighten Valve>Adapter>Nut.
I've attached a picture to show the difference between the current (old) valve & the Danfoss.
How do I connect this to the 8mm pipe? Am I missing something, or have I bought the wrong valve in the first place?
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
