Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the radiator and pipework are isolated from the central heating system.
- Remove existing radiator valves if applicable.
- For new installations, connect the 15mm compression inlet to the pipework. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to secure. Do not overtighten.
- Connect the 1/2 BSPT radiator coupler to the radiator valve connection. Again, hand-tighten and then gently secure with a wrench.
- If needed, adjust the valve orientation to suit your angled pipework.
- Bleed the radiator after installation to remove any trapped air.
- Restore system pressure and check for leaks.
Compatibility:
These valves are compatible with all Elego water radiator ranges, including heated towel rails, column radiators, panel radiators, vertical flat tube radiators, and aluminium radiators. They feature standard 15mm compression fittings for inlet pipes and a 1/2 BSPT thread for radiator connections, making them suitable for a wide range of plumbing setups.
Care:
- Clean the brushed brass finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish.
- Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage.
- Ensure the crosshead handles move freely. If stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant may be applied to the spindle (ensure system is isolated first).
