FAQs

Are these valves suitable for all radiator types?

Yes, these Elego TRV valves are designed for universal compatibility with all water radiator ranges, including modern heated towel rails.

What does 'not bi-directional' mean for installation?

It means the valve must be installed with the thermostatic head controlling the incoming hot water (flow side) and the lockshield valve on the outgoing cooler water (return side). Incorrect installation will prevent proper function.

How does the frost protection work?

When the room temperature drops below approximately 7°C, the thermostatic valve will automatically open slightly to allow a small amount of water to flow, preventing your radiator and pipes from freezing.

Can I install these myself?

Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge, particularly identifying flow and return pipes and correctly assembling the valves. If you are not comfortable, professional installation is recommended. Always refer to the user manual.

What orientations are available?

This specific product guide covers the 'Corner' orientation. Other orientations like Angled or Straight may be available for different installation needs.

How do I clean the Matte Black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which could damage the finish. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe dry.

What material are the valves made from?

The valves are constructed from solid brass for the main body and ABS for certain components, ensuring durability and a high-quality finish.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up

Ensure the thermostatic head is on the flow pipe. Check if the valve head is set to a sufficiently high temperature. Ensure the lockshield valve is open.

Radiator is always fully on

Verify the thermostatic head is correctly installed and not stuck. Ensure it's not set to maximum or frost protection mode unintentionally.

Leaking from valve connections

Gently tighten the compression nuts. If leaking persists, you may need to re-seat the olives or replace sealing tape/paste as per standard plumbing practice. Consult a professional if unsure.

Valve head feels loose

Ensure the locking ring or screw securing the thermostatic head to the valve body is tightened, but do not overtighten.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

These TRV valves feature 15mm compression inlets and a 1/2 BSPT radiator coupler, making them compatible with most standard water radiator ranges. They are designed for modern heating systems.

Setup:

  1. Identify Flow and Return: Determine which pipe is the flow (hot water entering the radiator) and which is the return (cooler water leaving).
  2. Positioning: Crucially, the thermostatic head must be installed on the *flow* side, and the lockshield valve on the *return* side. These valves are *not bi-directional*.
  3. Installation: Connect the compression inlets to the radiator tails and the radiator coupler to the appropriate valve body, following the included user manual for detailed steps.
  4. Orientation: This specific model is a 'Corner' orientation. Ensure this matches your pipework.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the matte finish.
  • Periodically check for leaks around the connections.
  • To fully shut off the valve, consult the online user manual for specific instructions, as it may differ from standard methods.
