Anyone familiar with "Toolstation" catalogue 52 Page332 I bought a "Air Vent Auto" 17968 and try to fox it but its male end threaded is marked 1/8" BSP. The radiators standard hole is larger may be 1/2" (Half inch) one. Is there any adapter which can match the radiator end and take the Air Vent Auto in. I am unable to handle the normat air vent pin as a result of very very poor eyesight and trembling hands. Any help appreciated.
You need a 1/2" BSP taper male to 1/8" BSP female reducing bush.
You might find a taper version hard to find. A parallel version could be used if the thread is very well sealed against leaks.
Alternatively, find an air vent with a 1/2" BSP thread, such as BES part 17845
Actually, here are the reducing bushes too... Part 0784 taper Part 6623 parallel
You'll need PTFE tape or some other thread seal too, for both threads.

Thank you very much for your information.
I found the
with the radiator plug at Homebase.
Thanks for help.
