The primary benefit is precise temperature control in individual rooms, leading to improved comfort and energy savings by preventing overheating and reducing unnecessary heating.
Basic DIY installation is possible if you are comfortable with plumbing tasks. Ensure you follow the correct flow and return side installation for the TRV and lockshield. If unsure, professional installation is recommended.
It means the valve has a specific flow direction. The thermostatic head must be fitted on the pipe carrying hot water into the radiator (the flow side), and the lockshield valve must be on the pipe returning cooler water (the return side).
The frost protection feature automatically allows a small amount of hot water to circulate through the radiator when the ambient temperature drops below approximately 7°C, preventing your heating system from freezing.
For instructions on fully shutting off the valve, please consult the online user manual. Typically, this involves turning the TRV head to its lowest setting, but specific procedures may vary.
The valves are constructed from solid brass for durability, with ABS components for the thermostatic head.
These valves have 15mm compression inlets and a 1/2 BSPT radiator coupler, making them compatible with standard plumbing sizes.
Check that the TRV head is not set to the lowest setting or '0'. Ensure it is correctly installed on the flow side. Verify that the lockshield valve is open.
Confirm the TRV head is installed on the flow pipe. Check if the TRV head is correctly fitted to the valve body. If the issue persists, the TRV may be faulty and require replacement.
Ensure all compression fittings are securely tightened. Check the seals and O-rings for damage. If leaks persist, professional assistance may be required.
Gently try to free the valve head. If it remains stiff, it may be due to debris or limescale. Refer to the user manual for specific cleaning or maintenance steps, or consider professional servicing.
Setup: For correct installation, ensure the TRV thermostatic head is positioned on the flow side of the pipework, and the lockshield valve is on the return side. The valves are compatible with standard 15mm compression inlets and a 1/2 BSPT radiator coupler. Ensure the system is turned off and drained before installation.
Compatibility: These valves are designed for use with modern heated towel rails and radiators. They feature 15mm compression fittings for easy connection to standard pipework.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean the valves with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the polished surface. For instructions on fully shutting off the valve, please refer to the online user manual.
