FAQs
What tools do I need for installation?
You'll need a pipe cutter, a wrench (if compression fittings are used), and possibly a drain pan to catch water. Ensure that you also have the necessary tools to drain your system, and that you have a level and tape measure available.
Can I use these valves with any type of radiator?
These valves are compatible with most standard radiators. Ensure your radiator system uses the correct pipe size (15mm x 10mm) and that the valve type matches your system's needs (straight compression stem).
Are these valves suitable for thermostatic systems?
Yes, these valves are suitable for use with thermostatic radiator systems. They can be used as part of a system controlling the heat output from a radiator.
What is the warranty on these valves?
Warranty information is not available in the product data, please refer to the product packaging or contact the seller for warranty details.
How do I know if the valve is installed correctly?
After installation, check for any leaks around the connections. Also, ensure the valve operates smoothly and that the radiator heats up or cools down as expected.
Can I replace a single valve, or do I need to replace both?
You can replace a single faulty valve. However, replacing both valves simultaneously can be a good idea for system balance, and to avoid future issues.
Troubleshooting
Valve is leaking after installation.
Check the pushfit connections to ensure the pipe is fully inserted. Tighten the compression fitting if needed. Ensure the valve is properly aligned and the system is not over-pressurized.
Valve is difficult to operate.
Check for any obstructions or debris within the valve. Ensure the valve is not overtightened. If the problem persists, the valve may need to be replaced.
