How Do I Know if I Need a 10mm Radiator Valve? 

If you see a site selling a 10mm valve, it’s just not true. 

We say 10mm valve in the radiator industry, but what you’re actually looking for is a valve with a 10mm pipe reducer included to match central heating systems with 10mm pipes. 

All the valves you see on this page come in the BSP standard with 10mm reducers. 

What is the BSP standard? 

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. It is an industry-wide standard for the size of the threading a radiator intake will have from its valve (i.e. the diameter of the hole). A universal size means every radiator, in theory, can fit in any installation across the country. 

The problem that arises when we talk about 10mm valves is from pipe setup. 

Why would my system have 10mm pipes? 

Not all houses are created equal. Varying pipe sizes are quite common. In new houses, thinner pipes that are 8-10mm wide are common from an economic standpoint. In older houses, pipes were thinner simply because it was cheaper. 

That’s why if you’ve moved into an old house and are completely renovating, you might notice that different rooms might have varying pipe sizes. 

Do all radiators need a 15mm valve? 

Yes. Your radiator’s entry will always be 15mm, no matter what size or shape of radiator you’re buying. That’s why we provide reducers. 

What do 10mm Radiators Reducers do? 

Reducers help make a clean connection between your pipes and valves. They sit subtlety inside the valve opening so that you won’t end up with a long looking intake. It matches the difference in size between the two and shrinks it down so your radiator can work as normal. 

When Would I Need a 10mm Radiator Valve Reducer?

You would need one when a room has pipes with 10mm centres. 

Why Get a 10mm Radiator Valve Reducer? 

It’s the easiest solution to a small problem. The valve is essentially hidden, so no one notices. The only alternative would be to get new pipes fitted; a very costly alternative.
