Radiator help?

[wombats]

I am about to change my radiator in the bathroom to a towel warmer (think that is what they are called). the one in there now has a drain off plug on it like this..

My pipes come from the floor so having to use in line valves. Do i have to replace this valve with another one but in line? Or can i just put this on another upstairs radiator?

You can use it again elswhere; but you'll be needing an inline one fo the towel radiator.

Thanks Dan, yes i know i will need an inline one for the towel radiator. I haven't been able to find one that is why i asked if i could just put it on another rad to save the hastle.

I haven't ever seen an in-line valve with an integral drain cock, but they may exist.
You could fit a seperate drain cock to a tee below the valve (aesthetics permitting) or transfer the valve to another rad.

If you use a seperate drain cock, use a 'Type A' pattern The lack of a gland in a 'Type B' means more water runs up your sleeve and across the floor than runs out the outlet when you open them.

Thanks TicklyT.

I haven't found one yet,so i think i may just transfer the valve to another rad. Think it is the best and cheapest option available.
