Hi,
Yesterday I was trying to take off an old bathroom radiator to replace and the olive broke off the pipe into the valve. The pipe is microbore (not sure if 8mm or 10mm) so I'm just wondering what I need to get to replace it as I'm completely new to this kind of thing.
The space between the pipes at the point they enter the floor is 70cm so I'm thinking I'll need a 600mm wide radiator. I think the lock-shield valve is fine so I'm going to need either an 8mm or 10mm angled valve but the point where I get confused is:
What do I need to fix the microbore pipe into the valve and prevent it leaking? Like I said, I've never done this before so I don't have a clue!
Thanks in advance!
