FAQs

What is the primary benefit of using a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV)?

The primary benefit is precise temperature control in individual rooms, leading to improved comfort and energy savings by preventing overheating and reducing unnecessary heating.

Can I install these valves myself?

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.

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

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).

What is the frost protection feature?

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.

How do I fully shut off the radiator using this valve?

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.

What materials are these valves made from?

The valves are constructed from solid brass for durability, with ABS components for the thermostatic head.

What radiator pipe sizes are compatible?

These valves have 15mm compression inlets and a 1/2 BSPT radiator coupler, making them compatible with standard plumbing sizes.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up at all

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.

Radiator is always fully hot, even on low settings

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.

Leaking from the valve

Ensure all compression fittings are securely tightened. Check the seals and O-rings for damage. If leaks persist, professional assistance may be required.

Valve head is stiff or difficult to turn

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides precise temperature control for enhanced comfort.
  • Contributes to energy savings and reduced heating costs.
  • Offers room-by-room heating customization.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity.
  • Modern design complements contemporary interiors.
  • Includes both TRV and lockshield for a complete solution.

Cons

  • Requires specific installation (thermostatic head on flow, lockshield on return).
  • Not bi-directional, limiting installation flexibility.
  • TRV head may require manual intervention for full shut-off, as per the user manual.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
