Whilst moving a suitcase I managed to snap off the head of a radiator TRV. It's quite a clean break, leaving the lowest plastic bit of the head still within the knurled ring.

I'll get a new TRV but as a short-term fix I'm looking to glue it back together. Is there a specialist plumbing adhesive for plastic that will cope with the heat passing close to the TRV?

Thanks.
 
doubt if it will hold the pin on the trv has got quite abit of pressure pushing up on the head.
 
swap head with the radiator in the house that is required to be on the longest

or the smallest radiator
or a radiator you can do without and turn the locksheild noting how many turns required to turn it off
