Can I use these valves if my pipework enters the radiator straight (not angled)?

Troubleshooting
Valve is leaking from the connection point.
Ensure the connection to the pipework and radiator is securely tightened. Check for any damage to the seals or fittings. If the leak persists, the connection may need to be redone using appropriate plumbing sealant or tape.
Radiator or towel rail is not heating up.
Verify that the valve is in the ON position. Check if the heating system is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no other blockages in the system. Bleed any trapped air from the radiator.
Valve handle is stiff or difficult to turn.
Ensure the heating system is off and cool. Gently try to work the handle back and forth. If it remains stiff, contact a qualified plumber for assistance or refer to the manufacturer's warranty for potential replacement.
The anthracite finish appears to be chipping or scratching.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. If minor damage occurs, contact customer support regarding repair or replacement options under the warranty.
