Hi,
My radiator had a leak on stem elbow which is over 20 years old. To stop leak I cut the pipe and put push fit stopper.

i bought 10mm angled radiator valve with 10mm stem elbow. If I put olive thatcomes with valve on stem elbow and tight the valve,the elbow is very loose and comes out of valve. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. Can you please help. ? Surely all are 10mm pipes, valve and elbow

Do copper olive is the solution not sure?

Hi guys, These sleeves cover 10mm PVC central heating pipes (see picture and ignore tape measure) and I believe this is what makes it possible for the 15mm nut and olive to attach to take the radiator valve. As you can see they are installed before nut and olive. I've ordered a black towel...
