Discuss Help identifying tap valve in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
This may be a wind up. But if not then can we have a picture of the valve on the towel rail.I have a dripping valve on my towel rail, but when I removed the cartridge it doesn't seem to be the standard one, and I don't know how to find a replacement.
I'll attach a photo. Any help welcome.

Did you see where is was going with this?need to replace the whole valves not the same as tap cartridges
Did you see where is was going with this?
Now I am confident this is a wind up.Are you saying that even though it's dripping from the end of the brass bit, where the moving spindle meets the fixed part of the brass body, that you can't just replace this bit, and have to change the whole valve, body and all?
I actually swapped it in the live system, for one of a different design but that had the same thread, which works but probably only because I never actually turn that radiator off.
If I had to replace the whole valve, I'd have to drain all the upstairs system that I couldn't otherwise isolate :-(
