No, this set is specifically designed for 15mm copper or plastic pipework and will not fit 10mm microbore systems.
This is an angled valve set, intended for pipes coming out of the wall or floor at a 90-degree angle to the radiator.
Yes, the pack includes the angled TRV, lockshield, radiator tails, compression nuts, and olives.
If you are experienced in home plumbing, you can install this yourself. If you are unsure, it is recommended to consult a professional plumber to avoid leaks or heating system issues.
The lockshield is used to balance the heating system by restricting the return flow, ensuring that all radiators in your home heat up at a similar rate.
The valve pin may be stuck due to lack of use. Remove the plastic TRV head and gently press the metal pin; it should spring back up. If it is stuck, apply a small amount of lubricant and press it repeatedly until it moves freely.
Ensure the pipe is cut square and the olive is seated correctly. Tighten the nut further, but do not overtighten, as this can damage the fitting.
Before beginning installation, ensure your existing pipework is 15mm diameter. The set utilizes standard compression fittings, meaning no soldering is required if your existing pipe ends are clean and free of burrs. During installation, use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on the radiator tail connections to ensure a leak-free seal. For ongoing care, simply wipe the valve bodies with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the white finish. Periodically check the valve head to ensure it moves freely and is not obstructed by debris.
