Hey, I want to move my radiator back, 2 inches closer to the wall its parallel to. The 1-1/2 pipe out of the floor has a 1-1/4 reducer coupling on it, then a nipple, then the 1-1/4 shutoff angle valve.

As a solution:
I thought maybe i can put a 90 reducer on the pipe out of the floor that will face inward to the wall and then another 90 on that to swing the opening back left, then put on a strait gate valve horizontally. Can you actually put a strait valve on or will it hit the floor when you try to tighten it? Is there a better solution? I saw an offset reducer coupling to replace the reducer that is there now) but i think it wont even give me an inch. Also, i thought about 2 45s, with the 2nd 45 facing back up with an angle valve, but then i think it will be too high.

Photos below.

Thanks!
