Radiator Valve

Sep 28, 2003 3 Replies

Hi Everyone



Just after a bit of advice..



I fitted a new towel rad (bought from Screwfix which is about 1/2 mile from my house)



I fitted the valve to the pipe. When I screw the top connection nut into the rad, it kept turning - I could of screwed it until it disappeared into the body of the rad!!!



It didn't do this on the other side (different brand of valve)



I packed it with PTFE tape and it seems much tighter but haven't switched the valve on yet



Is this normal or is something amiss ??

Completely off-thread...

Is this why they call it ScrewFix? After you screwed the nut in, you had to fix it...

That's one reason I *hate* screw joint plumbing :S

Wow. How many days did it take them to deliver?

ZD

24 hours !!! Thats what I meant to say 100% ex-stock doesn't apply to their shop!!

Regards
