Which valves?

[tinkerbelluk]

This is going to sound like a complete girly question but I'm replacing the bathroom radiator with this one http://www.screwfix.com/prods/55710 and I want to change the valves also.

My query is I don't know which of these I need to get and what the differences are

Angled - http://www.screwfix.com/prods/76098
In-line - http://www.screwfix.com/prods/87742

Any help would be great

In-line (pipe-work) would come into the rad parallel to the floor

I.E. into the rad from the side.

I don't want to be a spoil sport but if you're thinking of changing the radiator yourself and you don't know if straight or angled valves are needed, stop!

Changing the rad and valves is not a difficult job but get some more advice before you start. You'll need to drain down the system or freeze the pipes.
