Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure your heating system is fully drained to prevent leaks. The valves are compatible with standard pipe fittings, but it is recommended to use PTFE tape on threads to ensure a watertight seal.
- Ensure the system is powered off and cool.
- Drain the existing radiator setup.
- Remove old valves and clean the pipe ends.
- Attach the Elego valves, ensuring the alignment is correct for your pipe entry.
- Refill the system and bleed the radiators to remove trapped air.
To keep your valves looking their best, wipe them down periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the silver finish and lead to premature oxidation.
