Morning,

I’m not sure if you’ve ordered yet, but Wickes have got some valves at good prices, quite a saving on 10 valves:

Not sure why Wickes want £20 for the VT15 which I can get for £11

Some am still deciding on Pegler Terrier 3 or the Honeywell VT15

Because it’s the trv and lockshield, trv only is £13 odd.

Ah yes had not noted lockshield included.

Have plumped for the Pegler Terrier 3 valves. They look as if a bit of engineering has gone into them. Just an aside question they have self sealing versions with an O ring.
When would one use one of these as opposed to the normal PTFE and screw it in tight approach?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Depends if it goes into the rad and tightens up before it bottoms out

 

[Bogart]

Sorry not fully understanding that reply. As it has an O ring of course one just nips it up enough to slightly compress the O ring so how can it bottom out?
Sorry if I am missing the obvious.

I have a habit of confusing myself and others here is a link to a Pegler valve with the O ring.
