identifying and replacing a radiator

[chucka]

Ah got you ok then if only the frost setting turns it off then yes more than likely needs replacing.

I thought you were going to say that when you turn it down to 3 it still stays the same temperature.

LOL.. I can see why you said that.

ps. I'm looking for a replacement TRV that has native 10mm fittings to the microbore.. I can find loads that are 15mm with 10mm reducers.. but then my current 10mm compression nut won't fit... you have to use the supplied 15mm type nut with them. the there is the need to cut off the olive (if you can) just to get the reducer kit installed... all of my rad piping is horizontal with 10mm elbows to the valve rather than straight up out of the floor.

Rather use a 10mm fitting.. any pointers/stockist/model?

Thanks again

I would like to have another native 10mm fitting rather than 15 with reducer.. the lower nut to the copper pipe is around 19mm whereas the upper nut into the rad is 25mm. I'm presuming a 15mm fitting even with a reducer is going to have the larger nut than is currently on the system?
