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.
