Chrome Drain Valve

[Flip3seven]

Hi, I am currently fitting a designer radiator in my kitchen. The vertical pipes will be channelled into the wall and connect to the rad valves horizontally but I am considering teeing off one of the vertical pipes and fitting a decorative/chrome plated drain off valve, just above the skirting board level. I appreciate it may look rather odd but this is the most convenient location for a drain off valve. Does anyone have suggestions for a neater solution? Thanks

Can you fit a lockshield drain off to one of the rads ?

How about one of these ??

This wouldn't work as the pipe to connect is coming horizontally out of the wall and even if the drain orientation was correct, the radiator is mounted higher and therefore the rad valves are higher than the other downstairs radiator valves.....

Not really, because the drain off would be pointing towards the wall. Unless you can buy lockshields with a drain off in a different orientation

Theres not a neat option for that I'm afraid
