A TRV is a device fitted to a radiator that automatically regulates the room temperature by controlling the flow of hot water into the radiator. It helps maintain a set temperature and saves energy.
The TRV head should always be installed on the pipe that carries hot water *into* the radiator (the flow pipe). The lockshield valve should be on the pipe that carries cooler water *out* of the radiator (the return pipe).
It means the valve is designed for a specific flow direction. The thermostatic head must be on the flow side, and the lockshield on the return side, for it to function correctly. It cannot be fitted in reverse.
The frost protection feature activates when the room temperature drops to approximately 7°C, allowing a small amount of hot water to flow to prevent the radiator or system from freezing.
To fully shut off the radiator, you need to turn the thermostatic head to its lowest setting (usually marked with a snowflake or 'min'). For complete system shut-off, isolation valves on the pipework are typically required. Consult the online user manual for detailed instructions.
The TRV controls the heat output by sensing room temperature, while the lockshield valve is used to balance the heating system during installation and can be used to shut off water flow to the radiator for maintenance.
The main body of the valve is constructed from solid brass for durability and longevity, while the thermostatic head is typically made from ABS.
Ensure the TRV head is installed on the flow pipe. Check that the radiator is not set to a very low temperature. Bleed the radiator to remove air.
Verify the TRV head is on the flow pipe. Ensure the desired temperature setting on the TRV head is not too high. Check for blockages within the valve.
Check all compression fittings for tightness. If the leak persists, the internal seal may be faulty and require valve replacement.
Gently try to turn the head. If still stiff, remove the head (refer to manual) and check for any obstructions on the valve stem. Do not force it.
This is unexpected; the frost protection should activate. Ensure the TRV head is correctly installed and not blocked. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
Compatibility:
These TRVs are compatible with most standard home heating systems. They feature 15mm compression inlets and a 1/2" BSPT radiator coupler, making them suitable for a wide range of radiators and towel rails.
