FAQs

Can I install this on a straight pipe connection?

No, this specific model is designed for corner configurations. Using it on straight pipework will result in misalignment.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Basic plumbing tools, such as an adjustable spanner and a pipe cutter, are usually sufficient for a standard DIY installation.

What is the benefit of the frost protection setting?

The frost protection setting maintains a low temperature to prevent the water in your pipes from freezing and bursting during extreme cold.

Is this valve compatible with smart radiator heads?

No, this is a manual thermostatic valve and does not support electronic or smart control attachments.

How do I maintain the grey finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive chemicals or scouring pads, as these can scratch or dull the surface finish.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold even when the valve is set high

The thermostatic sensor may be stuck. Remove the head and gently tap the pin on the valve body to ensure it moves freely, then reattach.

Water leaking from the connection point

Ensure the olive is seated correctly and the compression nut is tightened firmly. If it continues to leak, inspect the pipe for burrs or debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise 6-level temperature regulation
  • Stylish modern grey aesthetic
  • Built-in frost protection
  • Simple manual installation with compression joints
  • Reduces household energy costs by isolating heating

Cons

  • Limited to corner radiator installations
  • Requires manual adjustment for each unit
  • Not compatible with smart home automation systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The valve set uses standard 1/2 inch by 15mm compression joints, making it compatible with most domestic central heating systems. To install, ensure your system is drained before removing the old valves. Tighten the compression nuts securely to prevent leaks, but avoid over-tightening which can damage the sealing ring. Regular care involves wiping the valve body with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the grey finish. Periodically turn the adjustment dial through all 6 settings during the summer months to ensure the internal mechanism remains free and does not seize up before the winter season.
