so you might find you can get a special olive that fits the 1/2" pipe
that you would put in the joint on your TRV.

Oops, I posted in the wrong group - should have been UK DIY. Response there
was that OD of 1/2"" was within a gnat's whisker of 15mm so the
reason for original problem was probably something else and I should be OK
with standard 15mm TRVs.
