Adjustable Telescopic Radiator Valve Extension | 1/2″ x 3/4″ Lockshield Tail Piece

Adjustable Telescopic Radiator Valve Extension | 1/2″ x 3/4″ Lockshield Tail Piece

Features

The Adjustable Telescopic Radiator Valve Extension is a smart heating solution. It replaces standard fixed radiator tails to accommodate variable pipework gaps effortlessly. Specifically, this sliding telescopic extension pipe slides smoothly to provide an adjustable range between 37mm minimum and 53mm maximum (measured from the nut face to the thread end).

It is designed to utilize the existing 3/4″ union nut from your current lockshield valve to secure the sliding joint. At the valve end, an integrated taper seal provides a reliable mechanical joint. At the other end, it features a standard 1/2″ BSP male thread to screw directly into your radiator inlet. Crafted from heavy-duty brass with a polished chrome finish, it eliminates the need for precision pipe cutting. This fitting offers a clean, professional look.

• Sliding telescopic design adjusts from 37mm to 53mm to bridge varying gaps without cutting existing copper pipes
• Replaces standard fixed radiator tails, utilizing your lockshield valve’s existing 3/4″ union nut for a seamless connection
• Features a built-in integrated taper seal on the valve side to ensure a secure, high-pressure mechanical joint
• Universal 1/2″ BSP male thread end screws directly into standard domestic central heating radiator inlets
• Please note: PTFE tape or thread compound will be required to create a watertight seal around the 1/2″ radiator thread (not included)

Details

Swapping out an old radiator for a new one rarely results in a perfect alignment with your existing pipework centres. Even a tiny measurement discrepancy of a few millimetres means a rigid fixed-length extension won’t fit. This leaves you with the miserable task of draining the system, lifting floorboards, and altering soldered pipework. Furthermore, over-tightening traditional rigid joints under strain frequently causes hairline fractures, leading to slow water leaks that ruin carpets and ceilings.

This Adjustable Telescopic Radiator Valve Extension solves these frustrations easily. By replacing your old fixed tail, it slides out to the exact millimetre required before being locked tight by your lockshield valve’s 3/4″ nut. The integrated taper seal handles the connection at the valve end securely.

Additionally, its 37mm to 53mm range gives you the perfect amount of flexibility for minor structural adjustments. This allows you to complete a flawless radiator swap in a fraction of the time. Consequently, you achieve a beautifully flush, professional finish while saving a fortune on professional trade installation costs.
