FAQs

Does this set fit all radiator types?

It is designed for standard 15mm pipework and radiators with 1/2 inch BSP thread inlets, which covers the vast majority of UK domestic radiators.

Can I install this myself?

If you are confident in draining and refilling a heating system, it is a straightforward task. If not, it is recommended to hire a professional plumber.

What is the warranty period?

The Lux Heat TRV set comes with a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.

Why is there a lockshield valve included?

The lockshield valve is used to balance the flow of water through the radiator, ensuring the entire heating system works efficiently.

Is the finish prone to tarnishing?

The bronze finish is durable and intended for long-term indoor use; avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Radiator stays cold despite TRV being turned up

The valve pin may be stuck due to inactivity. Remove the plastic head and gently press the metal pin down; it should spring back up on its own.

Radiator is hot even when the TRV is set to a low number

Ensure the valve head is tightened correctly onto the valve body. If it is loose, the sensor cannot accurately measure the ambient temperature.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant bronze finish suits period and traditional interiors

  • Includes both TRV and lockshield valves for a complete install
  • Standardized 15mm connection ensures broad compatibility

Cons

  • Requires some plumbing knowledge to install correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation:

  1. Turn off your central heating system and allow the radiators to cool completely.
  2. Drain the radiator or the relevant section of the heating circuit.
  3. Remove existing valves and clean the pipe ends.
  4. Attach the new TRV and lockshield valve using thread sealant or PTFE tape as required.
  5. Refill the system and bleed the radiator to remove trapped air.

Compatibility: This set utilizes standard 15mm connections and 1/2 inch BSP threads, making it suitable for most modern and traditional UK radiator setups.

Care: To keep the bronze finish looking its best, wipe periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, which can damage the metallic coating.
