Full details

The Oslo TRV Angled Thermostatic Radiator Valve is designed for homeowners and installers seeking a sophisticated, modern aesthetic for their heating systems without sacrificing performance. It offers precise temperature management through variable heat settings, making it an excellent choice for panel or column radiators. While it provides a premium powder-coated finish and solid brass durability, users should ensure their plumbing configuration is compatible with the standard 15mm-1/2 inch BSP connections before installation.

FAQs

Does this valve fit standard 15mm piping?

Yes, it is designed for 15mm - 1/2 inch BSP connections, which is the standard size for most UK residential radiators.

Can I install this on a towel rail?

Yes, the Oslo TRV is specifically designed to work with both radiators and towel rails.

What does the 'frost protection' setting do?

It keeps the valve open just enough to allow water circulation, preventing the radiator and connected pipes from freezing if the room temperature drops significantly.

Is the black finish prone to chipping?

The valve features a high-quality powder-coated finish designed for durability, though you should avoid using abrasive cleaners to maintain its appearance.

Do I need to hire a plumber to install these?

While it is a straightforward task for those familiar with home plumbing, we recommend a professional to ensure the system is properly balanced and leak-free.

Troubleshooting

Radiator remains cold even when valve is on

Ensure the pin inside the valve body is not stuck by removing the head and gently pressing the pin to verify movement.

Water leaking from the valve connection

Check that the connection is tightened securely and verify that enough PTFE tape has been used on the threads.

Inconsistent room temperature

Check if the thermostat head is blocked by curtains or furniture, which can interfere with the air temperature sensor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard plumbing tools, including an adjustable spanner and PTFE tape to ensure a watertight seal on the 15mm - 1/2 inch BSP threads. Always ensure the system is drained before replacing old valves. The set includes both the thermostatic head and the lockshield valve, which is used for balancing the radiator system. For ongoing care, simply wipe the valve with a damp, non-abrasive cloth to maintain the powder-coated finish. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can dull the black coating or cause surface damage over time. Check the valve joints periodically for any signs of weeping or moisture to ensure the integrity of the connection remains at the maximum 13 bar working pressure.
