35mm Angled TRV

60BOWENS

Hi
planning to change our radiator valves to thermostatic ones.But plumber said our rads may be better off with 35mm Angled TRV as they are old style with union nuts or so.Otherwise fitting them with newer style 15mm angled TRV may appear them to be bent/slanted.

Any ideas where can I purchase these 35mm Angled TRVs??

What size pipework have you got?

15mm is the diametre of pipe going from floor to valves

So why do you need 35mm, why can you just put a normal 15mm trv on and replace the tail in the radiator with the new one supplied with the trv.

frankly speaking I have no clue on this.
but plumber/gas engineer seems to say that big union bolt or so will make fitting 15mm tricky and may make the TRV look slightly tilted,where as getting 35mm TRV(if somebody makes them that is) may give better look.

I will,however put forward your suggestion to him

You have either misunderstood what he said or he doesn't know what he's talking about, I'm guessing he means that you have the larger union nuts on your existing & the new tails will have 15mm nuts
