Discuss Old TRV Valve connection in the DIY Plumbing Forum area at PlumbersForums.net

I have a tiny leak coming from the underside of the "nut" at the top of the copper feed pipe on an an old Valiant TRV valve . It probably just needs a tightening or a bit of PTFE . I understand that these are usually compression fittings but I think this might be something different as the way it is attached looks different to the more modern TRVs in the rest of the house. I don't want to start trying to force anything without understanding how this valve is attached to the copper pipe. Can anyone advise? Cheers

Hi. I need a new toilet supply line but don’t know the size type of the fitting at the shut off valve. It is not 3/8 compression. It is a plastic nut about the same size as the one going into the cistern but has a different thread. Attached is a photo. Can you advise. Thanks.

The fittings below are for a mixer bar attached to a self contained shower. i.e not a wall. The attaching screws have snapped. I could get two new brackets, dismantle that existing one and start again or I could try and re attach via those screws, removing the broken ones from the plate and wall...
