Hudson reed valve
does anyone have any experience with these Hudson reed valves for rads. The compression side is 16Mm. Seems pretty loose on 1/2 copper pipe. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these and If 1/2” copper will work. Thanks

Not a plumber but you should probably plug your phone in before it dies completely.

After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

what type of fitting is it? Does it have o ring seals and a crimp ring?
I have been able to get 1/2 copper into a 15 mm fitting by sanding the tube od a bit.
For the U.S. market Caleffi has this 437 fitting. I don’t know if it matches your valve. Recently they standardized that conical thread, across all the brands.

it’s just a brass sleeve. Just seems loose on 1/2” copper.will look into the #437

a brass compression ferrule needs to be a snug fit or it may not bite into the tube. Not something you want to risk with water under pressure
