I was always told that leakage from the neck was an issue with high temperatures of heating systems - anyone feel there's any truth in that statement?

Lever valves are quite commonly used on heating systems especially on houses that are being extended where you can bring the flow and return through on a first fix and pick up from the valves on a second fix. One house I do work at someone fitted a lever valve on the flow pipe going upstairs so the upstairs can be manually zoned off. I've used them alot when adding UFH to a system. Remember lever valves have a packing gland that can be repacked if needed and like most valves will only leak when they are not moved regularly and suddenly used. |

Probably be ok. Though it says 65 degrees on those, bet there will be a bit of leeway. At least the 10 bar rating means it's never going to go bang.
