FAQs

Are these valves compatible with electric radiators?

No, these valves are designed for water-filled radiators and are not compatible with electric heating systems.

Can I use these valves with a thermostatic system?

These are manual valves and do not have thermostatic capabilities. They require manual adjustment for temperature control.

What is the material of the valves?

The valves are constructed from durable solid brass with a high-quality chrome-plated finish.

Do I need two sets of valves for two radiators?

No, each pair of valves is designed to fit a single radiator. If you have multiple radiators requiring valve replacements, you will need to purchase a separate pair for each.

What does 'bi-directional' mean for installation?

It means the valve can be fitted on either the incoming hot water pipe (flow) or the outgoing pipe (return) of the radiator, offering installation flexibility.

What size pipework do these valves connect to?

The valves feature 15mm compression inlets for connecting to standard pipework.

What is the thread size for the radiator connection?

The radiator coupler size is 1/2 BSPT.

Troubleshooting

Valve is leaking at the connection point

Ensure the compression fittings are tightened correctly. If leaks persist, you may need to re-seat the valve or pipe connection, or replace any worn sealing washers.

Radiator is not heating up sufficiently

Check that the valve is fully open and that there are no blockages in the radiator or pipework. Ensure the heating system itself is functioning correctly.

Valve is stiff or difficult to turn

Gently try to move the valve back and forth. If it remains stiff, it may require lubrication or professional assessment, especially if it has been in place for a long time.

Valve doesn't seem to control water flow

Verify the valve is correctly installed on either the flow or return pipe and that the internal mechanism is not obstructed. Ensure the valve is designed for manual control and not stuck in one position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable solid brass construction with a polished chrome finish.
  • Sleek, modern design that enhances radiator aesthetics.
  • Compatible with all specified water radiator ranges.
  • Flexible installation due to bi-directional fitting.
  • Manual control over water flow for temperature adjustment.

Cons

  • Manual operation requires user intervention for temperature changes.
  • Not compatible with systems requiring thermostatic control.
  • Requires 15mm compression fittings for installation.
  • Weight of 540g for the pair might be a consideration for some installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

These valves are compatible with all water radiator ranges featuring a 1/2 BSPT radiator coupler and require 15mm compression inlets. This includes column radiators, panel radiators, vertical flat tube radiators, and heated towel rails.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the main water supply to the heating system is turned off.
  2. Drain the radiator and associated pipework.
  3. Attach the 15mm compression fittings to your pipework.
  4. Connect the 1/2 BSPT coupler of each valve to the corresponding port on the radiator.
  5. Tighten all connections securely using appropriate tools.
  6. Install the valves in either an angled or straight configuration as needed, noting they can be fitted on either the flow or return pipe.
  7. Once installed, slowly turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.

Care:

Clean the polished chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals, as they can damage the finish. Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage.
