Towel Rail Valve advice Please

[Howza18]

Evening,

I am fitting 1.1m towel rail into a very small en-suite

you will see the original plastic pipes with the valves on in the picture. Is there a valve I can but for the towel rail that will fasten onto these valves without having to drain the system ?

Thank In advance ,

You're going to leave the exposed plastic pipework??

To tell the truth I am not that bothered . I will try and chase it into the wall .

You can probably get an adapter that goes 3/4-1/2 that would do the job but it'll look rough mate

That's what I am thinking. It will look a bag of Sh*Te. Any suggestions as to the best option. Cheers .

Drain down or freeze pipework and chase in wall. Looks like it's on a drop are there any rooms above?

You could use the original tails and put them on those valves. Or get a couple from somewhere.
That will leave you with 1/2" male threads which you could then just ptfe tape and use female bends or straights (chrome if you wanted). Or add new valves for iron thread.
Will look odd, but just don't admit you installed it
