‘Never Drain’ valve is coming to B&Q near you...

[AlexGas]

A Barnsley inventor has seen his new product, designed to make removing radiators an easy task, go on sale in hundreds of B&Q stores across the UK.

Entrepreneur Tony Cardno, a former Goldthorpe colliery fitter, has created a new design for the radiator valve which doesn’t require a radiator to be drained before taking it off the wall.

B&Q were so impressed with Tony’s radiator isolation valve that they have ordered 7,000 units - and now the ‘Never Drain’ valve will be on sale in 250 stores from this month.

this new valve is a ball valve not a butterfly valve like the one in the picture, also domestic hot and cold water does not have inhibitor added, like any competent plumber knows it stops the valves from furring up and sizing.

What is the difference between the two again?

Which type is the all reliable ball type pump valve?

And how many times do you need to isolate/drain down rads? In the past 15 years I've only had to do them once (twice on a couple) for decorating. Took the opportunity to drain down and flush through. Only problem is that valve won't work with my twin entry rad valves!

It's about time you sorted out those valves
