Hi all,

How do I tell if I need a short neck cap or a long neck cap?

I'm almost certain that I need a short neck, but I just want to check.

Try a std Oz Mini cap in it. They are the long cap. If difficult to tighten, it's the wrong one.
It's the UK rads that need a short one, but sometimes necks get replaced.

I thought about doing that, but I don't have an original cap to test with. Is there a measurement?

Knew I had it somewhere - sorry for the tardy response!

Short ones are 27.5 mm tall
Long ones are 33.6 mm tall

These are the Overall Heights.
