FAQs

What is a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV)?

A TRV is a device fitted to a radiator that automatically regulates the flow of hot water into it. This allows you to set a specific temperature for each room, improving comfort and saving energy.

Are these valves compatible with my existing radiator?

Yes, these valves are designed for universal compatibility with all water radiator ranges and have standard 15mm compression inlets and 1/2 BSPT radiator couplers.

How do I set the temperature on the TRV?

The TRV head has numbered settings, typically from 1 to 5. Lower numbers correspond to lower temperatures, and higher numbers correspond to higher temperatures. Consult the user manual for specific temperature equivalents.

What does 'frost protection' mean?

The frost protection setting (usually indicated by a snowflake or asterisk) prevents the radiator from freezing in cold conditions by allowing a small amount of hot water to circulate when the room temperature drops below approximately 7°C.

Can I install these myself?

Basic DIY installation is possible if you are familiar with plumbing. However, for optimal performance and to avoid potential issues, professional installation is recommended, especially ensuring the correct flow/return orientation.

What is the difference between the thermostatic valve and the lockshield valve?

The thermostatic valve controls the heat output based on room temperature, while the lockshield valve is used to balance the heating system by setting a fixed flow rate. Both are necessary for proper function.

How do I shut off the radiator completely?

To fully shut off the radiator, you need to consult the online user manual for specific instructions on how to operate the valve to its closed position. The standard temperature settings do not fully stop water flow.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up

Ensure the TRV is not set to the lowest setting or 'off'. Check that the lockshield valve is fully open. Verify correct installation on the flow side.

Radiator overheating

Adjust the TRV to a lower temperature setting. Ensure the thermostatic head is correctly calibrated and functioning.

Valve is leaking

Check all compression fittings and tighten them gently if loose. If the leak persists, contact a professional plumber.

TRV head is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the valve pin (if applicable) is not stuck. Gently try to free it. If it remains stiff, it may require professional attention.

Precise temperature control for enhanced comfort.
Potential for significant energy savings on heating costs.
Durable and high-quality brass construction.
Modern, minimalist design fits contemporary decor.
Includes both thermostatic and lockshield valves for easy installation.

Requires consulting the online manual for complete shut-off instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Works with all water radiator ranges.
Compression inlets: 15mm.
Radiator coupler: 1/2 BSPT.
Valve type: TRV.
Available in Angled, Corner, Straight, or H-Block configurations.

Setup:

Identify Flow and Return: Determine which pipe is the hot water inlet (flow) and which is the outlet (return).
Install Thermostatic Head: Attach the TRV thermostatic head to the flow pipe. Ensure it is positioned correctly as per the manual.
Install Lockshield: Fit the lockshield valve to the return pipe.
Tighten Connections: Ensure all compression fittings are securely tightened to prevent leaks.

Important Installation Note:

These valves are not bi-directional. The thermostatic head *must* be fitted on the flow side, and the lockshield valve on the return side, for correct operation.

Care:

Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage.
For detailed instructions on fully shutting off the valve, refer to the online user manual.
