HI
WE HAVE TAKEN THE RADIATOR OFF THE WALL AND GONE TO PUT OUR 10MM CAP ON PIPE AND FOUND THAT CAP IS TOO SMALL. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AS BEEN TO DIY SHOP AND CAN NOT FIND ANY CAPS SMALL ENOUGH???

Take a valve off the radiator, and re-fit it to the end of the pipe?

If you have 8mm pipework, and can't find an 8mm stop end, maybe a 8 - 10 reducer and a 10mm stop end woulld get you out of trouble.

CANNOT GET VALUVE OFF RADIATOR LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BREAK

Its usuall to leave the valve on pipe and just break joint from the tail in rad. ( the valve will be 2 pieces, 1 screwed into rad the other fitted onto pipe end.) That way the water is locked in the system whilst you decorate or whatever.
