FAQs

Are these valves suitable for all types of radiators?

These valves are designed to be compatible with all Elego water radiator ranges, including heated towel rails, column radiators, and panel radiators, thanks to their standard 1/2 BSPT and 15mm fittings.

Can I fit these valves myself?

Basic plumbing knowledge is recommended for installation. If you are not comfortable with plumbing tasks, it is advisable to hire a professional plumber.

What does 'H Block' mean for these valves?

The 'H Block' designation refers to the specific design of the valve body that connects to certain types of radiator pipework, often where the pipes enter the radiator from below in an 'H' configuration.

What is the warranty period for these valves?

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as it is not detailed in the product description.

Can these valves be used with a smart thermostat system?

These are manual radiator valves and do not have smart capabilities or connections for smart thermostat integration.

What is the difference between Angled, Straight, and Cornered orientations?

The orientation refers to the direction the valve's body and handle are positioned relative to the radiator and the wall. Angled valves are for installations where pipes come out of the wall at an angle to the radiator connection. Straight valves are for when pipes run parallel to the wall. Cornered (or Corner) valves are for installations where pipes come straight out from the wall to meet the radiator connection at a right angle.

How do I clean the matte black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the valves. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Valve is leaking after installation.

Ensure all connections are tightened securely. Check that PTFE tape has been applied correctly to the radiator coupler threads. If the leak persists, the valve or seal may be faulty.

Radiator is not heating up.

Verify that the valve is fully open. Check that the central heating system is operational and that other radiators are heating. Ensure there are no blockages in the radiator or pipework.

Difficulty turning the valve handle.

The valve may be stiff due to disuse or sediment. Try gently working the handle back and forth. If it remains stiff, consider using a valve cleaner or seeking professional advice.

Valve makes noise when heating up.

This could be due to water flow. Ensure the valve is not set to a very fine setting, which can cause whistling. Check system pressure and ensure the system is properly bled.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances the aesthetic of modern radiators.
  • Constructed from durable, high-quality brass.
  • Offers broad compatibility with various radiator types.
  • Provides manual control over radiator heat output.
  • Easy to fit on either the flow or return pipe.

Cons

  • Manual operation means no smart thermostat integration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

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 a 1/2 BSPT radiator coupler and 15mm compression inlets. Ensure your existing radiator and pipework match these specifications.

Setup:

  1. Turn off the central heating system and drain the radiator.
  2. Unscrew the old radiator valves.
  3. Apply PTFE tape to the threads of the new valves where they connect to the radiator.
  4. Screw the new valves into the radiator couplings by hand, then tighten gently with a wrench.
  5. Connect the compression fittings to your 15mm pipework, ensuring a secure seal.
  6. Refill the system and bleed the radiators.

Care: Clean the valves with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the matte black finish. Periodically check connections for leaks.
