Hi all.
First and probably not the last post!
I am installing a new rad in the bedroom and bought pushfit TRV and lockshield valve from Wickes.
The TRV is fine but the lockshield valve only has one nut - used to screw (with PTFE tape) to the rad. The problem is, when I tighten it completely to the rad the pipe exit would be facing into the room rather than down to the floor. There doesn't seem to be a way of tightening to the rad enough whilst keep the pipe entry point pointing downwards. Shouldn't there be another nut to be able to adjust independently?
Or am I missing something obvious?
I'm a 'ponsey' graphic designer who thinks he can handle a bit of plumbing - anyone care to help?!
Picture attached in case it helps!
Cheers for your time.
