Best way of reducing rad. Valve to 10mm

[Matt0029]

Which is the best way of reducing a rad. Valve down from 15mm to 10mm. A soldered reducer or an internal reducer?

 

[Timmy D]

Either as long as they’re watertight.

If you’ve got the available 10mm pipe available, internal looks better.

Do the 3 piece ones usually seal up ok?

 

[Matt0029]

A colleague I know had problems with the 2 piece reducers these don't have olives. Unlike the 3 piece one I was looking at using

 

[Timmy D]

I don’t use many but as long as the pipe is in decent shape and you don’t over tighten it, you shouldn’t have an issue.

 

[Matt0029]

Thanks and that is how they go?

 

[Matt0029]

Smear of jointing compound on the olive.

 

[Matt0029]

The olive seals there on these?

Either will do it think you're ok as you are a smear of sealant won't go a miss. Kop
