Radiator Adjuster Extension
13 Answers
Is there such a thing as a short pole, maybe two feet long, that fits over a thermo valve on a radiator, so you turn it without bending down?
The rad is a bit inaccessible; the valve turns very easily when you can reach it.

Hello johnk. Yes, me too, but try as I might, I can't find anything on Amazon or eBay.
My latest simple solution is to get a bit of plastic pipe, fractionally smaller than the diameter of the TRV, and push it on to it! The valve itself turns very easily, so I could turn the pipe from two feet above quite easily.

Allen, the pipe might interfere with the functioning of the head if you leave it in place. The head needs to respond to the surrounding air temperature, so shouldn't be kept covered, and that includes letting clothes hang over it or furniture being too enclosing. The pipe idea seems good, if you can find the right diameter to grip the head but to be easy to pull off after use.
There you are:

Not quite as tapered as I thought, but I'll aim just to grip the top bit, above the slats - that should do it.
