Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these valves suitable for all types of radiators?

Yes, these valves are compatible with all water radiator ranges. However, their angled orientation needs to match your existing or planned pipework.

How do I set the temperature for a room?

Each valve head has numbered settings (typically 1-5) representing different temperature levels. Higher numbers correspond to higher heat output. Adjust the dial to your desired setting for each radiator.

What does the frost protection setting do?

The frost protection setting (often marked with a snowflake or 'min') will allow water to circulate when the room temperature drops below approximately 7°C, preventing your radiator and heating system from freezing.

Do I need to buy a separate lockshield valve?

No, this product is supplied as a complete set, including both the thermostatic valve and the corresponding lockshield valve.

How often should I clean the matte black finish?

Regular dusting with a soft cloth is recommended. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the finish.

Can I install these myself?

These valves can be installed by a competent DIYer following the provided manual. However, if you are unsure, it is recommended to hire a qualified plumber.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up

Ensure the thermostatic valve is not set to its lowest setting (often marked with a snowflake for frost protection). Check that the lockshield valve is fully open. Verify the heating system is operational.

Leaking from valve connection

Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check the integrity of any pipe fittings or seals. If leaking persists, professional assistance may be required.

Valve handle is stiff or difficult to turn

The internal mechanism may require lubrication or the valve could be partially seized due to mineral deposits. Running the heating system for a period may help loosen it. If issues persist, contact customer support or a professional.

Matte black finish appears dull or scratched

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently clean the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For minor scratches, a specialized matte finish restorer might be considered, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These valves are compatible with all water radiator ranges. Their angled orientation is specific, so ensure this matches your pipework requirements.
