A long tailed 15/10 reducer straight in to the rad. Valve?

Long tail soldered reducer better in my opinion

Or a pushfit 15-10 elbow adapter

Use the two part internal reducers a lot, don't have many issues. As long as the pipe is good. Plenty of paste, I usually crack them then take them apart and paste again.

Thanks as long as the one in my picture. Looks Abit over kill as the olive just need to be back past the shoulder. But that's all my merchants have.

You can cut them down to match the depth of the fitting

Would that have to be a hacksaw?

Slice or manual cutter eg tighten the wheel etc

Why not buy 10 mm radiator valves? My plumber fitted 10 mm TRVs (Inta I-Therm 10/8mm White Angled TRV 108TRVA) and I later fitted 10 mm lock shields when I replaced the radiators.

Sort of like that. With the reducer
