TRV for radiator with both 8mm pipes at one end

[JamesS]

Hello all,

I'd like to replace the majority of our radiator valves with thermostatic ones. I think they are 8mm Yorkshire Maxitwin fittings (they say Yorkshire Imperial on the knobs) and they look like this:

Can I fit a TRV head to the existing valves?
If not, what TRVs are available with both 8mm pipes at one end of the radiator (I'd rather not move any pipes).

Thanks in advance,

James

I dont remember ever seeing a twin entry TRV, normal practise is to extend one pipe to the other end and have a lockshield valve there.
