How do I connect a 15mm pipe to a 1" diameter male "O" ring type fitting?
See photo.
I am replacing an Imperial radiator in a single pipe system with a metric one which is quite a bit shorter. I have bought a 1/2" Danfoss Randall RA-G Single Pipe TRV Body which comes with a chrome fitting which screws onto the 1" diameter outlet of the TRV and screws into the radiator. Job done ... or it would be if the radiator wasn't 60mm away from the TRV body! (see https://www.heatingcontrolsonline.co.uk/danfoss-randall-rag-single-pipe-trv-body-p-1195.html) I searched the forum and while there are other similar posts they did not seem to address this situation.
I need to bridge the 60mm gap between the TRV male thread and the radiator at the flow end (or the same size screw fitting at the other end of the radiator). I have bought the Radiator Extender Tails shown which, when screwed into the radiator, present a 15mm pipe to the TRV valve body.
How do I connect these together?
Or am I best to use a pair of obtuse 15mm offsets so that I can move the vertical pipes closer to the radiator by zig-zagging them across?
In a triumph of hope over experience I thought this would be a common problem and an off-the-shelf adapter would be available which is telescopic, and which has a 1" female nut on the "left" end, and a standard radiator male thread on the "right" end.
Any assistance will be gratefully received.
