Looking for: 1/2" Solenoid valve /w compression fittings

    I've looked high and low, but can't seem to find a solenoid valve this small with compression fittings.

    I can get the usual 22mm, and I can get non-compression 1/2".

    Anyone know where I could get one, preferably a ball valve?

    It's to switch on/off a flow to a converted attic radiator. It needs to be compact and light weight (22mm is too big).

    What about a programmable radiator valve. You could set times and temperature for opening and closing.

    I bought this recently for a project but haven't installed it yet.

    It was way less than half the price I was quoted in the plumbers merchants.

    Not for compression fittings I'm afraid. Thanks for the reply though.

    A couple of 311's would turn it into a compression fitting

    You beat me to it. I couldn't remember the exact number of the fittings required off the top of my head but you're dead right.
