I have one of these (I think) that is leaking from the pin at the top. Both myself and a gas engineer have tightened it but still leaking. I swapped the actual white bit for a tado one when it was fitted (by a plumber) about 2 years ago.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent replacement? I don't need the white head or the lockshield, just the actual valve. I want to buy a few so a can put the 'old' thermostatic valves (replaced with Tado) onto the hall radiators which are currently just on/off.
I would also like to swap at least one existing valve for one that points horizontally away from the radiator, rather than vertically. The Tado/rad combination means that the heat sensor decided it's 25deg because it's right next to the rad. Is this a waste of time?
