as the drain plug is leaking....i know it needs a new valve and this is a temp measure..

thanks??

is it 10mm or 15mm??

As previously, I'd stake my professional reputation on that Conet rad valve being 10mm, so the pipe will be 10mm.
Conet rad valves were discontinued many moons ago.

If you can make out what make the tee is you could get away with a blank capnut on the tee.
Bear in mind that not all 10mm compression joint threads are the same.

as i cant stop the thing weeping, i was just thinking about putting a 10mm compression stop end over the thread - biting on to the T

?? thanks for your help!!

not sure if the t could be 12mm?!

12mm end caps dont seem to be as well known!!

a 10mm compression stop end over the thread - biting on to the T

10mm compression stop end goes onto pipe.

i know that i need it to fit on the end of the valve...(were the red arrow shows)

Do you think this will be ok?

i need to make sure the od on the T is 10mm

I think I'm with you now.
