FAQs
How do I adjust the temperature on the TRV?
The TRV head has a numbered dial. Higher numbers correspond to higher desired room temperatures. For example, '5' typically represents a fully open state for maximum heat, while '1' or the snowflake symbol indicates frost protection or minimum setting.
Can I install these valves myself?
Installation involves plumbing and requires basic DIY skills. If you are not comfortable working with your central heating system, it is recommended to hire a qualified plumber to ensure correct and safe installation.
What is the difference between the TRV and the lockshield valve?
The TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve) controls the water flow into the radiator based on room temperature, regulating the heat output. The lockshield valve is used to balance the heating system by setting a fixed flow rate for that specific radiator; it is typically only adjusted during initial system balancing.
How do I properly shut off the radiator using these valves?
For instructions on fully shutting off the valve, please consult the online user manual provided with the product or available on the manufacturer's website. It typically involves turning the TRV head to its lowest setting or a specific off position.
What does 'bi-directional' mean, and why are these valves not bi-directional?
Bi-directional valves can be installed with water flow in either direction. These Elego TRVs are not bi-directional, meaning they must be installed with the TRV head on the flow pipe and the lockshield on the return pipe for them to function correctly and regulate temperature accurately.
What is the frost protection feature?
The frost protection setting (often marked with a snowflake or '1') allows a small amount of water to circulate when the room temperature drops near freezing (around 7°C), preventing the radiator and pipes from freezing and potentially bursting.
What material are these valves made from?
The valves are constructed from solid brass for durability, with ABS components for the thermostatic head and other parts. The finish is polished copper.
Troubleshooting
Radiator is not heating up at all.
Ensure the TRV head is not set to the frost protection setting (minimum) or turned off. Check that the lockshield valve is fully open. Verify correct installation with the TRV on the flow and lockshield on the return.
Radiator is always fully hot, even when set to a lower temperature.
The thermostatic head may be faulty or obstructed. Ensure it's correctly fitted and not jammed. Check that the valve is installed on the flow side. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
TRV head is loose or wobbly.
Ensure the retaining nut or collar securing the TRV head to the valve body is tightened securely, but do not overtighten.
Low water pressure or flow.
Check for blockages in the system, including the radiator and pipework. Ensure the lockshield valve is correctly set for balanced flow.
