It is designed for standard radiators and towel rails with 15mm piping and 1/2 inch BSP connections.
Yes, the valve body is bi-directional, providing flexibility for different pipework configurations.
You can usually replace the thermostatic head itself, but any work involving the valve body requires draining the radiator system.
The product features a high-quality, contemporary black finish designed for aesthetic durability.
Ensure the valve head is not covered by curtains or furniture, as this prevents the internal liquid sensor from accurately reading the room temperature.
The valve pin may be stuck due to lack of use. Remove the thermostatic head and gently depress the brass pin; it should spring back out freely.
Ensure the compression nut is tightened sufficiently. If it continues to leak, inspect the olive for damage and ensure it is properly seated against the pipe.
Installation requires basic plumbing skills. Ensure your system is drained before removing old valves. The valve uses 15mm compression fittings; tighten the compression nuts firmly but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the olive or threads. The outlet is 1/2 inch BSP male iron, which is standard for most towel rails and radiators. For care, clean the black finish only with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges, acidic bathroom cleaners, or harsh chemicals that could strip the finish or cause discoloration. Periodically check the connection points for signs of weeping after the initial heat-up cycle.
