I have an awkward Radiator Valve scenario.
I have a large radiator that I planned to be piped from the wall and to use 'Corner Valves'. Once I fitted the radiator, which was a fresh install, it was clear that if it ever had to be removed, due to the style of the brackets, it would be impossible to do without draining the whole system as the pipes from the wall are very short and offer no flexibility. The radiator valves are the Compression type, so the radiator tail has to go into the valve by quite a bit.
I now have to remove the valve, so want to rectify this problem. What I need is a union type valve arrangement as these won't need so much flexibility on the pipes, but I have been unable to find a decent quality TRV valve set with this connection. Corner valves would be preferable, but I can work with a normal angled valve (altering the pipework slightly), which I suspect may be more readily available.
Is it possible to buy a different set of radiator tails that would help me? Or are all the union type tails meant for 3/4" connections?
