Not sure if this is the correct answer if you are looking for the part from the rad valve to the rad they are called Tails but your question is very vague try posting a pic and point which part you want the name of

Radiator tails, you need to know whether you need 15mm straight or union type ones

Have a look here. If you contact the company they might be able to help you. Other than that, you might have to buy a complete fitting and discard what you don't need.

I have thought that but I need brass ones and buying brass valves would be costly I can't believe it's so hard to find them it's mad

I expect to be ridiculed here, but aren't a lot of those brass anyway? Getting them polished to shiny is the issue, surely?

Depending where they're manufactured, maybe the company will be able to supply you with some which have yet to be plated?
