Product Information

Full details

The Elego Modern Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) are designed for homeowners looking to modernize their heating systems with a sleek, minimalist aesthetic without sacrificing efficiency. These valves provide precise temperature control, allowing users to tailor heat output to specific rooms, which helps optimize energy consumption and lower utility costs. While they offer excellent functional performance and include essential frost protection, potential buyers should note that these valves are not bi-directional, requiring careful attention to flow and return side placement during the installation process.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these valves bi-directional?

No, these valves are not bi-directional. You must install the thermostatic head on the flow side and the lockshield on the return side.

What is the purpose of the frost protection feature?

The frost protection setting automatically allows water to flow through the radiator when the room temperature dips below 7C to prevent the system from freezing.

Does this set include everything I need for one radiator?

Yes, each set includes one thermostatic valve and one lockshield valve, which is standard for one radiator installation.

Will these work with electric radiators?

No, these are designed specifically for water-based radiator systems.

How do I clean the valves?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges to prevent damaging the grey finish.

Troubleshooting

Radiator remains cold even when the valve is open

The valve pin may be stuck due to inactivity. Remove the head and gently press the pin to ensure it moves freely, or check if the valve was installed on the wrong side (flow vs return).

Water leaking from the valve connection

Ensure that adequate PTFE tape was used on the threads and that all nuts are tightened securely to the radiator and pipework.

Radiator does not regulate temperature correctly

Verify that the thermostatic head is correctly positioned on the flow side of the radiator.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved energy efficiency through room-specific temperature control
  • Modern grey aesthetic suitable for contemporary homes
  • Includes built-in frost protection
  • Complete set including lockshield for a finished installation

Cons

  • Non-bi-directional design requires specific installation orientation
  • Requires professional plumbing knowledge or careful installation
  • Limited to water-based radiator systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is vital for the correct operation of the Elego TRVs. Because these valves are not bi-directional, you must ensure the thermostatic head is fitted to the flow side of the radiator, while the lockshield valve must be fitted to the return side. If reversed, the valve will not regulate heat effectively and may cause audible water hammer or inconsistent heating.

Before installation, ensure your existing heating system is drained down. Use PTFE tape on all threaded connections to prevent leaks. Once installed, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners on the grey finish; a simple wipe with a soft, damp cloth is sufficient to keep the valves looking new. Regularly check the valve operation at the start of the heating season to ensure the internal pin has not seized during the summer months.
