FAQs
What is the purpose of a TRV and a Lockshield valve?
A TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve) controls the temperature of a room by regulating the amount of hot water flowing into the radiator. A Lockshield valve is used to balance the heating system by adjusting the water flow to individual radiators.
How do I know if I need an angled TRV?
An angled TRV is used when the pipework comes out of the wall or floor at an angle relative to the radiator connection. If your pipework comes straight out towards the radiator, you would typically need a straight valve. This product is specifically for angled pipework.
What does 'A rated' energy efficiency mean?
'A rated' signifies high energy efficiency, meaning the valve design contributes to minimizing wasted heat and energy consumption in your heating system, potentially lowering your energy bills.
Can I install this myself?
Basic DIY installation is possible if you are comfortable with plumbing tasks. However, if you are unsure, it is recommended to have a qualified plumber install the valve to ensure a correct and leak-free fit.
How do I set the temperature on the TRV?
The TRV head has a numbered dial. Generally, '1' is for frost protection (around 7-10°C), and higher numbers (e.g., '5') represent warmer settings. A setting of '3' is often considered a comfortable average room temperature (around 20°C). Experiment to find your preferred setting.
What maintenance is required?
Minimal maintenance is required. Clean the chrome finish with a soft damp cloth. Ensure the TRV head can move freely; if it becomes stiff, gently try to free the pin as described in the troubleshooting section.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty details, as this information is not provided in the product description.
Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating up at all.
Check that the TRV head is not set to the lowest setting or '0'. Ensure the lockshield valve is fully open. Verify that the system is adequately pressurized and the boiler is functioning.
Radiator is too hot or too cold despite TRV setting.
The system may require balancing. Adjust the lockshield valve on the radiator to regulate water flow. If the issue persists, consult the TRV's manual or a professional.
TRV head feels stiff or won't adjust.
With the heating system off and cool, gently try to rotate the TRV head. Sometimes, the pin inside can get stuck. Gently lever the pin up and down a few times. If it remains stuck, professional intervention may be needed.
Leaking from valve connections.
Ensure all compression fittings are securely tightened. If leaking persists, the fitting may need to be disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled with appropriate sealant or tape, or replaced.
