Turn the valve handle clockwise to reduce heat output and counterclockwise to increase it. The amount you turn the valve will depend on the heat output required.
You will need a wrench to tighten the connections, and possibly a pipe wrench. It's also recommended to have some PTFE tape for sealing the threads.
Ensure all connections are tight. Use PTFE tape on the threads. Check regularly for leaks.
This valve is suitable for most standard radiators. Check the thread size and pipe configuration to ensure compatibility.
Clean the valve whenever it looks dirty, using a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Try gently tapping the valve with a rubber mallet. If it remains stuck, it may need to be replaced.
Contact your supplier for warranty details.
Check if the valve is fully open. Ensure the water supply to the radiator is turned on. Bleed the radiator to remove airlocks.
Check the connections for tightness. If the leak persists, tighten the valve's gland nut slightly, or replace the valve's internal components or the whole valve if necessary.
Apply a small amount of lubricant to the valve stem. If the problem persists, the valve may need replacing.
