FAQs
Does this set include both valves needed for a radiator?
Yes, the set includes one thermostatic radiator valve and one lockshield valve.
Can I install this on a vertical radiator?
This is an angled valve set, typically intended for pipes protruding from the floor or wall. Check your pipe orientation before purchase.
How do I maintain the bronze finish?
Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that can damage the metallic coating.
Does the valve work automatically?
Yes, once set to your desired level, the internal sensor automatically regulates water flow based on the ambient room temperature.
Is professional installation required?
While DIY installation is possible for those with plumbing experience, it is highly recommended to use a professional to ensure the system remains watertight.
Troubleshooting
Radiator remains cold despite TRV being open
The internal valve pin may be stuck due to lack of use; remove the head and gently press the pin to ensure it moves freely.
Leaking around the valve connection
Ensure the connection is tightened sufficiently and check that enough PTFE tape was applied to the threads during installation.
Radiator gets too hot regardless of setting
Ensure the thermostatic head is correctly tightened onto the valve body and that the sensor is not blocked by heavy curtains or furniture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed while the central heating system is drained. Begin by removing your existing valve and ensuring the pipework is clean and free of debris. Use high-quality PTFE tape on all threaded connections to prevent leaks. Once installed, ensure the system is refilled and bled of any trapped air to allow water to flow freely through the new valve. For care, keep the bronze finish looking new by wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using abrasive chemicals or harsh cleaning agents that could strip the decorative finish. Periodically check the valve during the start of the heating season to ensure the pin inside is not stuck, allowing for smooth operation.
