FAQs

What type of control does this valve offer?

The Primaflow Crestalux Radiator Valve offers manual control, allowing you to adjust the heat output by turning the handle.

Is this valve suitable for all radiators?

It is designed for standard heating radiators with a 15mm connection. The angled design means it's best suited for installations where the pipework enters the radiator from the side.

How do I clean the valve?

Clean the valve using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to maintain the white finish.

What is the warranty period?

The Primaflow Crestalux Radiator Valve comes with a 5-year warranty from the manufacturer.

Can I set a specific temperature with this valve?

No, this is a manual valve and does not have thermostatic capabilities to set or maintain a specific room temperature automatically. You adjust it by hand.

What does 'Angled Type' mean for installation?

The 'Angled Type' refers to the orientation of the valve body relative to the pipe connection. An angled valve is used when the pipework approaches the radiator at an angle, typically from the side.

Troubleshooting

Valve is leaking from the connection point

Ensure the valve is securely tightened. If the leak persists, turn off the water, remove the valve, re-apply PTFE tape to the threads, and re-install.

Radiator is not heating up or cooling down when adjusted

Check that the valve is fully open or closed. If it feels stuck, there may be internal debris; consider professional servicing or replacement.

Difficulty turning the valve handle

The valve may be new and stiff, or it might have scale buildup. Try gentle, steady pressure. If it remains difficult, water may need to be drained and the valve mechanism inspected or lubricated according to manufacturer guidelines (if applicable).
