I'm going to buy some and do a review, maybe need a year or two to see if they leak!Thomas Dudley so I'd expect good quality 🙃

They’re a decent make
I’d be interested to know anyone who’s used them

I’ve never seen them until Endfeed posted the picture but why would i put them before others i use and have no issues with?

New to me too.
I can see the advantage of them a straight direct upwards lift for removal of the rad and with the valves off hardly any mess.
Will they sit there for years and years though then fail the first time used?
A possible future contender the the museum of seemingly good ideas in plumbing?
I do like the idea of them though - nice and simple.
Anyone remember those old Belmont radiator valves with the O rings in the glands?

like battle says, go with what you know and trust and, a ball o fix valve is never as good as a screw down type, I'll be interested in your review enfeed, because our motto is every day is a skool day and, one day someone will teach me how to spell it right  |

Always amazes me how shit scared people are of removing radiators.
There’s an old Plumbing saying ‘Air in water out’!….simples!!
If you have a vessel, cylinder, tank etc etc. if you don’t let air in the water will not come out.

Would save a few minutes if reliable but I can just imagine an annoying little weep out of that side part eventually. I could be completely wrong though.
I'll wait till Lidl have 4 for a fiver Endfeed!😁

They're installed. Will switch them on/off every 6moths to see if they re leakers or not! Iso valves are generally shit so I'm not holding my breath 😁!!

Dudley is a good make but so many isos fail just on a cold service to a basin, will these stand the heating and cooling many times a day on a c/h system??

<button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button> I was under the impression that they were to be fitted underneath the rad valve, so that you could swap the rad valve without needing to drain down? |
