Would you like to fit a radiator without using PTFE tape

[Alec_t]

could still be achievable with a fixed tail , one top and one bottom

.... which would introduce yet another rad variant to be made, packaged, shipped, stored and so add to everyone's cost.

Good to know, could still be achievable with a fixed tail , one top and one bottom

Bl00dy hell you're planning TBOE as well!? That's got us up to 9 variations of each radiator size for the radiator manufacturer to make & keep in stock, and the merchants / installers to need to order correctly.

Really flogging that dead horse at this point.

If it was available in the same range of sizes as standard radiators, at the same price point, then maybe sometimes. But an increasing amount of my work now is in the retrofit air source heat pump market, where we need higher flow rates due to the reduced temperature difference between flow & return. 15mm compression valves are often unsuitable as you just can't push water through them fast enough without them getting unacceptably noisy, so we end up using ¾" union valves instead. Radiators with fixed 15mm compression tails couldn't be used in that scenario.

Unions are also my go to when pipes come out of the walls and there's no movement on them to facilitate rad removal.

Yeah I fear you may be right, especially as the OP has now vanished. Unless they were serious and have now gone off to cry into their coffee having spent large sums of money patenting a ridiculous idea

Probably now put all his money into packaging now

I've had hundreds of ideas that could have made me millions of pounds.

Then I went to the pub and forgot about them!

I started this stupid idea 2 yrs ago after my 24 yr old autistic son completed his degree and he found that because of his disability no one would employ him (not even a plumber). So I asked for his help. Within a year he had produced technical drawings and 3D animations to demonstrate which was now our stupid idea. A by-product of his work was that he taught himself computer coding over a year. At his first interview he presented his work on our patent and now works confidently for a cyber security firm. This was never about me it was only ever about him. So please laugh away at my foolishness and I appreciate all your feedback as I can now put this to bed.

nearly year to come up with the patent but you never looked at the absolute basics
