FAQs

What size pipe centres does this valve set fit?

This Terma Vario Sided Integrated Thermostatic Radiator Valve Set is designed for radiators with 50mm pipe centres.

Can I use this valve set with any radiator?

This set is specifically designed for radiators with 50mm pipe centres and requires the correct left-sided orientation. It will not fit radiators with different pipe centre measurements or those requiring a right-sided valve.

What does 'left-sided configuration' mean?

It means the thermostatic control head is positioned on the left side of the valve, and the main valve body is on the right. This must align with the direction of water flow in your pipework.

Is the TRV head bi-directional?

No, these valves are not bi-directional. You must select the correct left or right orientation based on the TRV head location and the water flow direction, as they must be on the same side.

What is included in the set?

Each set includes a coloured integrated thermostatic valve body, a coloured thermostatic head, nuts for multilayer and copper pipe adapters, coloured pipes, a coloured wall masking cover, and various brass fittings for pipe connection.

How do I clean the valve set?

Clean the valve and TRV head using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or plastic parts.

What type of pipes can I connect?

The set includes adapters and nuts suitable for both multilayer pipes and standard copper pipes.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up

Ensure the TRV head is not set to the minimum setting or '0'. Check that the pin within the valve body is not stuck; gently tap it to free it. Verify the central heating system is on and the radiator valve is open.

Leaking from connections

Turn off the heating system and drain the radiator. Carefully tighten the relevant connection nuts. If the leak persists, check the sealing washers and O-rings, and replace if necessary.

TRV head is stuck or won't adjust temperature

Ensure the TRV head is correctly seated on the valve body. If it feels jammed, try gently working the pin (as described for 'Radiator not heating up'). If the issue persists, the TRV head may need replacement.

Incorrect orientation selected

The valve must be installed with the TRV head on the correct side (left in this case) corresponding to the water flow direction. If installed incorrectly, the system must be drained, and the valve removed and reinstalled in the correct orientation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances aesthetic appeal with a unified, coordinated look.
  • Simplifies installation with an integrated unit and included accessories.
  • Ensures a clean finish with matching pipe masking.
  • Offers precise temperature control via the thermostatic head.
  • Durable materials ensure a long product lifespan.

Cons

  • Fixed left-sided configuration may not suit all plumbing setups.
  • Requires precise 50mm pipe centre connections.
  • TRV head is not bi-directional, demanding correct orientation selection.
  • Colour matching relies on available stock and specific radiator finishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • This valve set is designed for radiators with 50mm pipe centres. Ensure your radiator has this specific connection size before purchasing.
  • The set includes adapters for both multilayer pipes and copper pipes.
  • This is a left-sided configuration; the TRV head is on the left, and the valve body is on the right. Ensure this orientation matches your pipework and desired flow direction. The valves are not bi-directional, so correct orientation is crucial.

Setup:

  1. Isolate the system: Turn off your central heating and drain down the radiator to be worked on.
  2. Attach adapters: Fit the appropriate pipe adapters (multilayer or copper) into the radiator tails.
  3. Install valve body: Connect the integrated valve body to the radiator, ensuring a secure fit.
  4. Connect pipework: Use the provided coloured pipes and nuts to connect your existing pipework to the valve body, ensuring the left-sided orientation is maintained.
  5. Mount masking cover: Slide the coloured wall masking cover over the pipes and secure it to the wall for a tidy finish.
  6. Fill and vent: Refill the central heating system and vent the radiator.
  7. Test: Turn the heating back on and check for leaks.

Care:

  • Clean the valve and TRV head with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or plastic components.
  • Periodically check for any signs of leaks around the connections.
  • Refer to the TRV head's specific instructions for detailed operation and temperature setting.
