Lockshield Valve Question

[alig31]

Hi all,

I have a radiator that I would like to put a lockshield with a drain down on it as it is the end of a line rad. Issue is that I need a straight through lockshield because of the routing of the pipes. Can you get a straight through lockshield with a drain down, or as another option can you get an in-line drain down that I could fit further along the pipework, so cutting a section out of the pipe to fit an inline drain (if there is such a thing.)

Open to any other suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

If you google "compression drain off" you will find what you need. Likely to be either a 15mm or 22mm compression connections depending upon what pipe you have obviously.

Have you got a picture of the current pipe work, but sounds like the above should work, i don't think there is what you need combined with a lock shield

You could fit one of these to the existing 15mm copper pipework.

That's a handy bit of kit!
