Evening,

I am fitting 1.1m towel rail into a very small en-suite

you will see the original plastic pipes with the valves on in the picture. Is there a valve I can but for the towel rail that will fasten onto these valves without having to drain the system ?

Thank In advance ,

Andy

You're going to leave the exposed plastic pipework??
 
You can probably get an adapter that goes 3/4-1/2 that would do the job but it'll look rough mate
 
That's what I am thinking. It will look a bag of Sh*Te. Any suggestions as to the best option. Cheers .
 
Drain down or freeze pipework and chase in wall. Looks like it's on a drop are there any rooms above?
 
You could use the original tails and put them on those valves. Or get a couple from somewhere.
That will leave you with 1/2" male threads which you could then just ptfe tape and use female bends or straights (chrome if you wanted). Or add new valves for iron thread.
Will look odd, but just don't admit you installed it

Hi all. The current towel rail is 1000mm x 600mm and ideally I'd like the pipes coming straight from the ground into the rail. The distance between pipe centres is 695mm. I can get a 750mm wide rail but the centres with that are 705mm and that additional 10mm could cause too much strain on...

Hi guys, These sleeves cover 10mm PVC central heating pipes (see picture and ignore tape measure) and I believe this is what makes it possible for the 15mm nut and olive to attach to take the radiator valve. As you can see they are installed before nut and olive. I've ordered a black towel...

Hello Everyone I would like to drain the towel rail in my bathroom and add some inhibitor. I have unscrewed the chrome cap on the lock shield and there is no spindle that can be turned. How can I make sure the lock shield is closed off before draining? Please see attached pictures. Thank you...
