The Talus Flair Thermostatic Radiator Valve (TRV) and Lockshield set is an essential upgrade for homeowners looking to improve their heating system efficiency and gain precise room-by-room temperature control. Ideal for those replacing outdated valves with a modern, reliable aesthetic, this silver-finish set offers long-term durability and professional-grade performance. However, users should ensure compatibility with their existing pipework diameter before beginning installation, as professional fitting is often recommended for those without plumbing experience.

This set is designed for standard 15mm piping. Ensure your radiator inlet configuration matches the type of valve (angled or straight) required for your pipes.
The lockshield is used to balance your heating system, ensuring that heat is distributed evenly across all radiators in your home.
The numbers usually correspond to specific temperature ranges. Check your specific manual, but generally, higher numbers indicate a higher desired room temperature.
The finish is durable, but avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the protective coating.
No, you do not need to drain the system to replace just the white thermostatic head, but you must drain it to replace the valve body attached to the pipe.
While these are manual valves, you may be able to replace the manual head with a compatible smart actuator if the threading matches.
The valve pin may be stuck due to long-term inactivity. Remove the plastic head and gently press the metal pin; if it is stuck, tap it lightly until it moves freely.
This often indicates air in the system. Bleed your radiators to release trapped air and ensure your central heating system is pressurized correctly.
Ensure the connection nut is tightened properly. If it persists, the olive or sealant may need to be replaced by a professional.
Installation requires draining the heating system, so ensure you have the necessary tools and a bucket to catch residual water. This set is designed for standard 15mm copper piping.
For care, wipe the valves occasionally with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can scratch the silver finish. Periodically check the valve head to ensure it is not obstructed by furniture or curtains, which can interfere with temperature sensing.
