Problem fitting extra Tado Valve in a bedroom
I have already fitted a tado control system which all work perfectly well.
I now want to replace a manual Danfloss TVR in a bedroom. But I cannot select a suitable fitting
I have shown a picture of the valve with the Danfloss valve fitted and removed. To me, it looks like the valve is fitted with a Danfloss adaptor. Can anyone confirm this and can I just unscrew it and then fit a Tado valve? I am unsure if I do the radiator will start to leak. Thanks for any advise.

@terrycooling_1939 The compatibility/adapter guide is here: https://cdn.brandfolder.io/607DGEMS/at/wngg83j9q93x6s7qn93hzs7/0130_B_SRT_Compatibility_Guide_EN.pdf
This TRV looks like a Danfoss RAS-C2, or similar, with an old 15mm connection on the rad? https://www.installer.danfoss.com/uk-gb/products/radiator-thermostats-and-valves/domestic-radiator-sets/ras-c2/ I wouldn't undo anything more than you have done already without a plumber or heating engineer on-hand.

Thanks for your prompt reply, It is as I suspected it needs a connection change on the radiator. Just don't know why this radiator is fitted differently from the others that I have replaced with Tado and having no problems with.
Probably a Plumber in the past just fitted what he had available with him at the time.
Thanks

There is an adapter that allows you to use the Tado SRT. Have a look here https://www.reddit.com/r/tado/comments/z23s1r/how_can_i_install_a_tado_smart_valve_on_this/
