A TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve) allows you to control the temperature of individual radiators, helping to save energy and maintain a more consistent room temperature.
The lockshield valve is used during installation to balance the heating system by controlling the flow of water through the radiator. Once set, it's typically left in place.
The corner pattern indicates that the valve is designed for installations where the pipework comes directly out of the wall to connect to the radiator, offering a neat, right-angled connection.
You can adjust the temperature by turning the numbered dial on the TRV head. Higher numbers correspond to higher temperatures (e.g., 29°C), and lower numbers correspond to lower temperatures (e.g., 7°C).
This Towelrads radiator valve set comes with a 2-year guarantee.
While basic DIYers might attempt it, installing radiator valves involves draining the system and ensuring watertight seals. For optimal safety and performance, professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended.
The valves are constructed from brass with an anthracite finish.
Ensure the TRV is not set to the lowest setting or 'frost' mode. Check that the lockshield valve is open. Verify that the central heating system is functioning correctly.
Turn the TRV dial to a lower temperature setting. Ensure the TRV is not positioned near a heat source (like a secondary heater or direct sunlight), which can affect its sensor readings. Bleed the radiator if air is suspected.
Check that all connections are tightened appropriately. If the leak persists, the valve may require servicing or replacement, which should be done by a professional plumber.
The TRV head can often be removed and reattached. If damaged, replacement of the TRV head or the entire valve set may be necessary. Contact customer support or a professional.
Setup: Installation of radiator valves requires plumbing knowledge and should ideally be performed by a qualified professional to ensure a watertight seal and correct operation. The set includes a 15mm x 1/2in TRV and lockshield, designed for standard radiator pipework. Ensure the system is drained before installation.
Compatibility: This set is compatible with most standard radiator systems that accept 15mm pipework and 1/2in valve connections. The corner pattern is specific to radiators where pipe entry is from the wall.
Care: To maintain the aesthetic and function, clean the valves with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the anthracite finish. Periodically check for leaks and ensure the TRV is not obstructed.
