Good evening,
See attached photo of a valve on the radiators in my house.
The valves have done well as they are 18 years old. I have one radiator making an awful banging noise so this head/valve needs changed asap.
I was wondering if I can just replace the heads instead of the entire valve in the short term. Ive pulled the top off the head off the plastic controller but can see how it sits on the mechanical part of the valve itself.
The idea being here if I can take the plastic controlling part off the valve i could post it on here and you would have a better idea what i would need. I could also take it directly to a shop and they would know what replacement i would need. I am aware I will have to buy the entire valve but was just going to change the head of the valve for now to try it.
Help appreciated.
Kind regards
Neil Coltman
