Hi, ive bought a flat panel aluminium rad off ebay and one of the 4 outlets is slightly larger than the other 3 by about 1 mm. Has anyone come accross this before and so what is the solution.
Cheers

No mate theres prob a 1mm gap all round.Does it actually screw in? If it does I’d wrap some ptfe on the thread. If it doesn’t fit I’d be looking at contacting the seller. Whats the diameter of the thread out of curiosity?
That’s why I asked what diameter the thread was in case it was some Chinese knockoff with an unusual thread size. Jason, Ask for an exchange, if that’s the same get a refund.Rake of ptfe and paste.
Or get shot.
Maybe why it was on flea bay in the first place.
Ours are either 1/2” or 3/4”. Have you tried a 3/4 to 1/2” bush. Long shot but worth a try.That’s why I asked what diameter the thread was in case it was some Chinese knockoff with an unusual thread size.

Have tried pal,3/4 is to big 1/2 to small, maybe find a bolt of some description and ptfe it to death.Ours are either 1/2” or 3/4”. Have you tried a 3/4 to 1/2” bush. Long shot but worth a try.
Its mine mate,its a buy to let property.Is it your property or a customEr
Tried 5/8 today and its too big. Bugger. Would it be possible to make the hole threads larger or would all the bits of steel get trapped inside the rad .If it's a bsp thread then the next size up from 1/2" is 5/8". You won't find anything in a plumbers merchants but possibly a specialist nut and bolt merchants may have something to bung it with. Worth a try if you want to keep the radiator.
Double posting again mate?Errr, that looks a hell of lot bigger than 1mm gap.
Thought it was the old mouse worn out double clicking but the new one does it. I edit when I notice.Double posting again mate?
It does say about maybe 2 thenErrr, that looks a hell of lot bigger than 1mm gap.
Where?It does say about maybe 2 then
In the opening post,read it. It cant be much more than a mil or 2 as half inch is too small and 5/8 is too big.Where?
Jason, you can give me all the dislikes you like pal but nowhere can I see what you claim to have posted.In the opening post,read it. It cant be much more than a mil or 2 as half inch is too small and 5/8 is too big.

Well if you are going to add words here and there and mis quote you really ought to look in the mirror! Time to pick your dummy up.1/2 inch 12.5 mm 15.

Clearly.
The difference between 1/2 and 5/8 is just over 3mm so 5/8 being to big so gap is approx 2 mm.
If you dont have any sesensible/usefull comments dont bother posting and disliking my posts . Very childish
What words have i added?Well if you are going to add words here and there and mis quote you really ought to look in the mirror! Time to pick your dummy up.
