FAQs

Is this set suitable for 10mm pipework?

No, this set is designed for 15mm standard UK pipework.

Does the set include everything needed to replace one radiator valve?

Yes, this set contains one thermostatic head valve and one matching lockshield valve.

Can I install this on a towel rail?

Yes, provided the towel rail uses standard 15mm valve connections.

How do I clean the bronze finish?

Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Never use harsh chemical cleaners.

What is the purpose of the lockshield valve?

The lockshield is used to balance your heating system by regulating the amount of water flowing out of the radiator.

Do I need a professional to install these?

While installation is straightforward, we recommend a qualified heating engineer if you are not comfortable draining your central heating system.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up after installation

Ensure the system has been bled of any trapped air and that the lockshield valve is fully open.

Thermostatic head is stiff to turn

Gently clean around the dial base to remove any dust buildup that might be obstructing the movement.

Leakage at the connection point

Check that the olives and nuts are tightened securely and that the pipe is cut square with no burrs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated bronze aesthetic matches classic and contemporary decor
  • Thermostatic control improves energy efficiency by maintaining stable room temperatures
  • Complete set includes both valve and lockshield for a uniform appearance
  • Robust build quality for long-term reliability

Cons

  • Limited to 15mm pipework installations
  • Bronze finish requires specific cleaning care to avoid scratching
  • Not suitable for systems requiring different connection sizes without adapters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed while the heating system is drained. Ensure you have the correct tools to handle 15mm connections. The valve is compatible with most standard UK copper or plastic pipe systems. For maintenance, keep the valve free of dust and debris to ensure the thermostat sensor remains responsive. Clean the bronze exterior using a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with mild soapy water; avoid abrasive chemicals or scouring pads that could strip the finish.
