Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this set compatible with 15mm pipes?

No, this specific model is designed for 10mm pipework.

Does the set include both valves needed for the radiator?

Yes, it contains one thermostatic radiator valve and one matching lockshield valve.

What does BSP stand for?

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe, which is the standard threading used for most radiators in the UK.

Can I paint these valves to match my wall?

It is not recommended, as painting the valves can interfere with the movement of the thermostatic head and may damage the factory finish.

Does the valve need batteries?

No, these are mechanical thermostatic valves that rely on thermal expansion rather than electrical power.

Troubleshooting

Radiator fails to heat up

Check if the thermostatic head is set too low or if the internal pin is stuck. Gently press the pin to ensure it moves freely.

Radiator is always hot regardless of setting

Ensure the TRV head is properly tightened onto the valve body. If the issue persists, the internal sensor may be damaged and require replacement.

Minor leakage at the connection point

Verify that enough PTFE tape was applied to the threads and ensure the connection is tightened to the recommended torque level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before purchasing, ensure your heating system utilizes 10mm pipework, as this product is specifically sized for that diameter. The installation follows standard plumbing procedures for a 1/2 inch BSP radiator inlet. It is highly recommended to use PTFE tape on the threads to guarantee a watertight seal. When cleaning, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the durable black finish. Instead, wipe the valves occasionally with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and maintain their matte appearance.
