This guide is for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to upgrade or replace their radiator valves. The Elego Radiator Valves offer a stylish, durable solution for controlling heat in modern and designer radiators, providing a sleek anthracite gray finish and robust brass construction. A key consideration is that these are manual valves, requiring manual adjustment for temperature control.

Yes, they are designed to be compatible with all Elego radiators and feature a standard 1/2 BSPT connection for most other radiator types.
While the installation is straightforward for experienced individuals, professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended to ensure correct fitting and prevent leaks.
It means the valve can be fitted on either the pipe bringing hot water into the radiator (flow) or the pipe taking cooler water away (return), offering flexibility in how it connects to your existing pipework.
These are manual valves. You adjust the temperature by turning the valve head. Fully open for maximum heat, or turn it to reduce the water flow for less heat.
Please refer to the product packaging or the official Elego website for specific warranty information, as warranty details can vary.
No, these are manual control valves. They do not have the internal mechanism to connect to a thermostatic system. You would need a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) for that functionality.
The valves are constructed from durable solid brass with an ABS component for the adjustable head, finished in matte anthracite gray.
Try tightening the packing nut slightly (clockwise). If the leak persists, the valve may require servicing or replacement.
Ensure the valve is fully open and not obstructed. Check that the radiator coupler is securely tightened to the radiator tail.
Gently try to work the valve back and forth. If it remains stiff, there may be debris inside; consider flushing the system or consulting a plumber.
Verify that your radiator has a 1/2 BSPT thread and your pipework is 15mm. Adapters may be available for different sizes, but professional advice is recommended.
Compatibility:
These valves feature a 1/2 BSPT radiator coupler, making them compatible with all Elego radiators, including heated towel rails, column radiators, panel radiators, vertical flat tube radiators, and aluminum radiators. They also have 15mm compression inlets, designed to connect with standard 15mm copper or plastic pipework. Always confirm your existing pipework size before installation.
Setup:
Installation should ideally be performed by a qualified plumber. The valves are supplied as a pair for a single radiator. Ensure the system is drained before commencing work. The bi-directional design allows fitting on either the flow or return side. Adjust the water flow manually by turning the valve head.
Care:
To maintain the matte anthracite gray finish, clean the valves periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Ensure connections remain secure to prevent leaks.
