Fitted these along with a column rad - the most hideous valves I've ever seen!!!

i see what your'e saying lol. It would probably look different piped in iron, though. make it look more authentic?
 
ÂŁ60 for that and the lockshield - nuts
 
Mental! Never have seen anything as bad. Looks like an old fashioned geared hand drill, or an old tin opener

My dad used to use those old fashioned hand drills lol
 
Surely that won't turn to cold what a weird design?
 
I don't get the hatred for these valves, on a column style rad they will look much better than a conventional trv and lockshield. It makes a feature of the radiator, I am a fan!

Granted, standard valves would look poooh but mate, c'mon.. these are a little tacky.. half expected delboy to walk in lol
 
I like them - they would look really nice in the right setting - exposed brick, beams, copper ornaments, or a steampunk kind of look.

Makes a change from all the same-old same-old bland stuff you see day in day out - but I agree, would look a lot nicer if they were a bit aged and tarnished...

Rad is only a few years old. Paint is flaking away at the top curved section and it looks like faint spots of rust where the rad is now bare.
