use vagrants suggestion depending on the mm measurements you may only need to do x1 end but you still need to remove clean and and reuse the old radiator tail or tails if x2 needed with about 10 turns of PTFE tape on the male threads to do that you need a tool also available from screwfix http://www.screwfix.c...ools/Radiator-Spanner HTH Tez
