An M6 nut or bolt is 10mm across the flats.The 10mm spanner that fits it will say 10mm..not,use this on M6 bolts, etc etc..

Your fault Motman....see what you have started.!..why not suggest measuring the pipe with a laser and measuring the time light takes to cross the pipe,or use soundwaves etc etc...might be more up the OP's street.

Thanks
Cut a bit off and take it to a local plumbers merchant and ask for two stop ends. Ideally go in on a Saturday 10 mins b4 they close. They like that.
How's he going to tighten a round pipe with a spanner? Are you even Gas Safe registered to be giving out this advice??
A little history behind this - my neighbour (who has learning difficulties) called me in a flap yesterday as water was pouring from the radiator on to her kitchen floor. I whizzed round and turned her water off and drained the system and then took photo of pipe, and then asked question here. To be honest I was just expecting a quick answer from the 'experts' not war and peace and a UN debate. That said I removed the radiator replaced it as well as the valves and all is working fine and no drips - The pipe size was indeed 10mm. Thank you to those who contributed.
