Product Information

Full details

The UK Radiators Radiator Valve Tail Extension 25mm is designed for homeowners and plumbing professionals looking to bridge the gap between radiator valves and pipework without the need for costly alterations. This extension is ideal for retrofitting new radiators that are smaller than the previous models, ensuring a secure and aesthetic connection. While it provides excellent utility, users must ensure they verify the exact required length before purchase, as precise measurements are critical for a leak-free fit.

FAQs

Does this come with a washer?

These extensions typically rely on the existing seal of your radiator valve or PTFE tape for a water-tight connection.

Can I use this on central heating pipes?

Yes, this component is designed specifically for standard radiator valve setups in domestic central heating systems.

Is the finish suitable for bathroom radiators?

Yes, the chrome finish is durable and suitable for use in environments like bathrooms, provided it is kept clean and dry.

What if I need a different length?

UK Radiators offers a range of extensions from 10mm to 100mm to accommodate various installation requirements.

Is it difficult to install?

It is a straightforward process that requires basic plumbing tools like a spanner, though the system must be drained first.

Troubleshooting

Visible leaking at the connection point

Ensure the connection is properly tightened and verify that enough PTFE tape was applied to the threads.

Extension does not fit into the radiator port

Verify that your radiator valve has a standard 1/2 inch BSP opening; if the port is tapered or a different size, this adapter will not fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Saves time and money by avoiding pipework alterations
High-quality chrome finish matches most modern valves
Standardized 1/2 inch BSP thread ensures wide compatibility
Easy for DIY enthusiasts to install with basic tools

Cons

Limited to 25mm length; requires accurate measurement
Not suitable for non-standard or oversized thread sizes
Requires proper sealing compound for a water-tight joint

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first turn off your heating system and drain the radiator to prevent leaks. Remove the existing valve tail from the radiator, apply high-quality PTFE tape or a suitable pipe sealant to the male threads of the extension, and screw the extension into the radiator port. Ensure it is tightened securely but avoid over-torquing. Once installed, reattach your valve to the female end of the extension. For care, simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the chrome luster; avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
