I've recently bought a house which hasn't been lived in for a few years and as I start to use stuff again it is tending to break/leak. The house is 1960's and has a Copperad Wallstrip in the living room. I can't seem to find much at all about these except some old posters from Back when they were being produced -
It seems to be pretty effective as now i've had to turn it off due to the leaking valve its Damn cold downstairs. Its basically a 22mm pipe which runs around two walls of the living room with Fins all the way a long encased in a housing. It has 22mm 3/4 valves at either end. I've been trying to get a plumber out to do do a few jobs and a couple have suggested replacing the valves for standard 15mm valves. Is this ok? Won't it stem the flow? The've suggested the same for the rad Linked to the hot water circuit in the bathroom which is also on 22mm(or more likely imperial) pipe/valves.
