FAQs

Are these valves suitable for all types of radiators?

Yes, these valves are designed to be compatible with all Elego radiator ranges, including heated towel rails, column, panel, and vertical flat tube radiators, thanks to their standard 1/2 BSPT and 15mm compression fittings.

What does 'Manual' mean for these radiator valves?

Manual means the valve is operated by hand to control the flow of hot water to the radiator. It does not have automatic temperature regulation like a thermostatic valve.

What does 'Corner' orientation mean?

The 'Corner' orientation indicates the angle at which the valve connects to the radiator and pipework, typically designed for installations where the pipework comes out from the wall at a right angle to the radiator valve.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents to protect the finish.

Do I need to buy anything else to install these valves?

The valves are supplied as a set for a single radiator, including the necessary fittings for connection to the radiator and standard 15mm pipework. You will need basic plumbing tools for installation.

Can I use these valves with a central heating system that uses an external pump?

Yes, these manual valves are suitable for use with standard wet central heating systems, whether they use a system or combi boiler, and whether or not an external pump is present.

What is the main advantage of manual valves over thermostatic valves?

Manual valves offer simplicity and direct control. While they don't offer automatic room temperature control, they are often more robust and straightforward to operate for users who prefer manual adjustment.

Troubleshooting

Valve is leaking

Check that all compression fittings are securely tightened. Ensure no debris is present on the sealing surfaces. If the leak persists, the valve or a fitting may need replacement.

Radiator is not heating up

Ensure the valve is fully open. Check if the lockshield valve on the other end of the radiator is also open. Bleed the radiator to remove airlocks. Verify the central heating system is operational.

Valve is stiff or difficult to turn

Gently try to turn the valve. If still stiff, it may require lubrication or replacement. Avoid forcing the valve, as this could cause damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

These valves are compatible with all Elego water radiator ranges, including heated towel rails, column radiators, panel radiators, and vertical flat tube radiators. They feature a 1/2 BSPT radiator coupler and 15mm compression inlets.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the main water supply to the heating system is turned off.
  2. Drain the radiator and associated pipework.
  3. Attach the valves to the radiator's inlet and outlet ports using the provided fittings.
  4. Connect the valves to the corresponding pipework using the 15mm compression fittings.
  5. Open the valves fully to allow the system to refill.
  6. Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air.
  7. Check for leaks and tighten fittings as necessary.

Care:

Clean the brushed brass finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish. For maintenance, periodically check connections for any signs of leakage and ensure the valve operates smoothly.
