Looking at TRV and lockshields in Screwfix and BES, it seems the standard union with a radiator is 1/2". All the radiators in my house seem to be much larger than that - maybe 1". The radiators are all c1980 vintage. Is this a non-standard or old size?
None of the radiators have TRVs and many of them have weeping valves, so could all do with sorting. Am I going to have to try and find reducers if I want to use modern fittings, or might I even have to bite the bullet and replace the radiators entirely? thanks tony
