Radiator valve problem

[Magnus1]

Can anyone help?
I have old radiators and they are beginning to leak at the valves (Hattersley delflo) see pic. The new Hattersley Delflo does not appear to have the same dimensions. Can one refurbish these - The metal / threads seem fine I think the red rubber O rings need replacing. Is there somewhere to obtain secondhand older models in the UK / web?? ?? Many thanks in advance for any replies.

They'd be just as knackered as yours!
If you spend the time you could find an O ring supplier and refurbish the valves, or of course buy new ones.
They look quite nice and aren't quite normal fittings so refurb looks attractive. CHeap, anyway. First prob is to carefully measure the O rings!

rswww.com do O rings, but there are zillions of others.

Try contacing Hattersley - godd company, might be able to help.
