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.

Yes, UK Radiators offers other lengths such as 10mm and 50mm variants if 15mm does not meet your requirements.
Ensure that sufficient PTFE tape was applied to the threads and that the extension was tightened sufficiently.
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.
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.
