Product Information

Full details

The UK Radiators Valve Tail Extension is designed for homeowners and professional installers looking to bridge the gap when replacing radiators with models that do not perfectly align with existing pipework. This component allows for a secure connection without the costly and labor-intensive process of moving fixed plumbing, providing a polished chrome finish; however, it is important to note that this specific extension is fixed at 15mm, meaning precise measurement of your existing gap is required before purchase.

Can I use this for central heating pipes?

Yes, this is specifically designed for radiator valve installations within domestic central heating systems.

What is the thread size?

Do I need to turn off my heating before installing?

Is this extension adjustable?

Does it come in other sizes?

Troubleshooting

Water leaking from the joint

Ensure that sufficient PTFE tape was applied to the threads and that the extension was tightened sufficiently.

Extension does not fit the valve

Verify that your radiator valve utilizes the standard 1/2 inch BSP connection; this product is not designed for non-standard or oversized thread types.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Avoids the need to alter existing pipework
  • Easy to install for those with basic plumbing knowledge
  • Matches standard chrome radiator fittings
  • Affordable solution for minor installation misalignments
  • Provides a clean, professional appearance

Cons

  • Fixed length of 15mm requires accurate measurement
  • Not suitable for large gaps between pipe and valve
  • Requires proper sealing materials to prevent leaks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first ensure the water supply to the heating system is fully isolated and the radiator is drained to below the valve level. Apply PTFE tape or an appropriate liquid thread sealant to the male threads of the extension before screwing it into the radiator valve. Tighten carefully with a suitable spanner—avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the chrome finish or the internal seals. For care, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals which may scratch or tarnish the chrome surface over time.
