FAQs

What does TRV stand for?

TRV stands for Thermostatic Radiator Valve. It is a device that regulates the temperature of a radiator to which it is fitted.

What is the purpose of the lockshield valve?

The lockshield valve controls the amount of hot water flowing through the radiator. It is used to 'balance' the heating system, ensuring all radiators heat up evenly.

Can I use this valve with any radiator?

This valve is specifically designed for 15mm angled connections. It is compatible with most standard radiators that have the appropriate inlet size and orientation.

How do I set the desired room temperature?

The TRV head has numbered settings (typically 1-5). Higher numbers correspond to higher room temperatures. Consult the product manual for specific temperature equivalents for each setting, as they can vary.

How often should I bleed my radiators?

Bleeding radiators is typically needed when you hear gurgling sounds or notice a radiator is only warm at the bottom. It's a good practice to check and bleed radiators at the start of the heating season or if you notice uneven heating.

Does the matte black finish require special cleaning?

The matte black finish can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the coating.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or retailer's warranty information for the specific warranty period. Typically, such products come with a multi-year warranty.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up at all.

Ensure the TRV head is not set to '0' or 'frost protection'. Check that the lockshield valve is fully open. Bleed the radiator to remove trapped air.

Radiator is too hot and cannot be controlled.

Verify the TRV is correctly installed and functioning. Ensure the room thermostat is not overriding the TRV setting. Check that the TRV head is not stuck.

Leaking from compression fittings.

Gently tighten the compression nut on the leaking fitting. If the leak persists, the olive or pipe may be damaged, requiring replacement of the fitting or pipe section.

TRV head feels loose or stiff.

Gently try to move the TRV head. If it is stiff, it might be slightly seized; try gently rotating it. If very loose, ensure it is properly attached to the valve body.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides precise temperature control for enhanced comfort.
  • Helps in balancing heating distribution throughout the system.
  • Durable, corrosion-resistant construction for long lifespan.
  • Modern all-black finish complements contemporary radiator designs.
  • Reduces energy waste by maintaining consistent temperatures.

Cons

  • Requires specific 15mm angled pipework for installation.
  • Lockshield requires a separate tool (e.g., radiator key) for adjustment.
  • TRV head might require manual setting for initial or specific room temperature.
  • Primarily aesthetic for specific radiator types; may not suit all installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This valve is designed for 15mm angled radiator connections. Ensure your existing radiator tailpipe and system pipework are compatible. It is suitable for use in closed-loop hydronic heating systems.

Installation:

  1. Isolate the radiator by closing the lockshield valve on the return pipe and the thermostatic valve on the flow pipe.
  2. Drain a small amount of water from the system to prevent leaks.
  3. Unscrew the old valve tail from the radiator.
  4. Screw the new Pro Plus TRV onto the radiator inlet, ensuring a tight seal.
  5. Connect the angled pipework using the compression fittings, tightening securely but avoiding over-tightening.
  6. Open the lockshield valve fully, then gradually open the TRV head to your desired setting. Bleed the radiator if necessary.

Care:

  • Periodically check compression fittings for any signs of leakage.
  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the matte black finish.
  • Ensure the TRV head is free from obstructions to allow accurate temperature sensing.
