FAQs

What is a thermostatic radiator valve?

A thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) regulates the temperature of a room by controlling the flow of hot water into the radiator.

What does 'corner configuration' mean?

Corner configuration refers to the design of the valve, where the pipes connect to the radiator at an angle, typically where the pipes come out of the wall.

Can I install these valves myself?

If you have some plumbing experience, you may be able to install them yourself. However, if you are unsure, it's best to consult a qualified plumber.

What size connection do these valves use?

These valves use a 1/2" BSP connection.

How do I adjust the temperature?

Rotate the head of the valve to set your desired temperature. The settings are usually marked on the valve head.

What is included in the twin pack?

The twin pack includes two thermostatic radiator valves, two matching lockshields, and two screw-in 1/2" 20mm long radiator tail extensions.

How do I maintain the valves?

Wipe the valves with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up.

Check if the valve is open and the thermostat setting is appropriate. Ensure the system is bled of air.

Radiator overheating.

Lower the thermostat setting. Check for any obstructions or blockages.
