The Excel Home valves come with a 3-year warranty.
Standard plumbing tools like an adjustable spanner, pipe wrenches, and PTFE tape are typically required.
It maintains the temperature just above freezing to prevent the pipes from bursting during extremely cold weather.
This is a thermostatic valve that automatically adjusts based on the room temperature.
These valves feature 1/2 inch x 15mm connections.
Check if the thermostat head is stuck due to inactivity; remove the head and ensure the pin inside the valve body moves freely.
Ensure that PTFE tape was correctly applied to the threads during installation and that the nut is tightened securely.
Ensure the thermostat sensor is not obstructed by heavy curtains or furniture, which can cause a false ambient temperature reading.
Installation involves replacing existing manual valves with these thermostatic models. Ensure your system is powered down and the pressure is drained before attempting installation. These valves are compatible with standard 15mm copper piping. To maintain the chrome finish, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners; instead, wipe down with a soft, slightly damp cloth to keep the surface free of dust and grime. Check the valve operation annually before the start of the heating season to ensure the sensor moves freely.
