Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these valves reversible for installation?

No, these radiator valves are not bi-directional. The thermostatic head must be installed on the flow pipe, and the lockshield valve on the return pipe for correct functioning.

What is the purpose of the lockshield valve?

The lockshield valve is used to balance the heating system. Once the TRV is set, the lockshield is adjusted to ensure water flows correctly through all radiators without bypassing others.

How do I activate the frost protection feature?

The frost protection is typically activated when the TRV head is set to the lowest setting, often indicated by a snowflake symbol. This allows a minimal flow of water to prevent the radiator and pipes from freezing in cold conditions (below 7°C).

What is the finish on these valves?

These specific valves have a polished finish in Brushed Brass, designed to offer a premium, durable aesthetic.

What size pipework do these valves connect to?

The compression inlets are 15mm, and the radiator coupler is 1/2 BSPT.

What materials are the valves made from?

The valves are constructed from heavy-duty solid brass, with a wooden top handle.

Can I use these with a combi boiler system?

Yes, these valves are compatible with standard water radiator systems, including those connected to combi boilers, provided the pipework is compatible.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up

Ensure the lockshield valve is open and the TRV head is not set to the lowest setting or 'frost protection' (indicated by a snowflake symbol). Verify the valve is installed correctly on the flow pipe.

Radiator overheating or too hot

Check that the TRV head is set to the desired lower temperature. Ensure the thermostat head is not obstructed by curtains or furniture, which can prevent accurate temperature readings.

Valve is leaking

Check all compression fittings and connections are tight. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber for inspection and potential replacement.

TRV head is loose or spinning freely

The TRV head may have become detached. Gently re-secure it to the valve body according to the installation manual. Ensure it clicks into place.

System freezing in cold weather

Ensure the TRV head is not fully shut off. The frost protection setting (often marked with a snowflake) should allow minimal water flow below 7°C to prevent freezing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the system is drained and isolated before installation.
  2. **Crucially, position the TRV thermostatic head on the *flow* pipe and the lockshield valve on the *return* pipe.** This is vital for correct operation as the valves are not bi-directional.
  3. Connect the valve to the radiator using the 1/2 BSPT radiator coupler and ensure the 15mm compression inlets are securely fitted to your pipework.
  4. Refer to the included User/Install Manual for detailed step-by-step instructions.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with all Maesta water radiator ranges.
  • Ideal for traditional and cast iron style radiators.
  • Requires standard 15mm compression pipework.
  • Radiator connection is 1/2 BSPT.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • Periodically check for any signs of leaks or damage.
  • For detailed instructions on fully shutting off the valve, consult the online user manual.
