flow and return going into one valve?

[stevengardner]

Hi,
I also have one of these valves shown in a previous photo. My problem is that, when decorating i removed the rad from the wall leaving the injector tube still connected. My family "helped clean up" and binned the injector tube and I haven no way of getting it back. I have no idea for where to get a replacement and what diameter it needs to be, or even what I need to ask for at my local plumb centre.

Can anyone help me get the replacement i need. the rad is back on for the time being until i get the part.

Use a bit 8mm copper. If the rad is a double panel cut the end of the 8mm at 60º and it will go in. You only need 10-12" for it to work but longer is better.

You can still purchase these valves, but usually have to be ordered and are expensive :-(

You can buy 8mm by the metre here;

Brilliant, thanks guys.

Snowhead: thanks for the link. I've ordered 70cm 8mm.

Thanks again.

my old collage tutor told me that you can cut a piece of 8mm and it will thread in itself because it is soft enough, true???????

Hi,

trying to to remove a radiator with combined flow and return valve. Have managed to bleed the radiator but having trouble removing it due to the pipe that runs the length of the radiator? Do I simply cut the tube to remove the rad? Don't want to cut it and then have a huge leak!!

Thanks
