FAQs

Does this set fit 10mm or 22mm pipes?

No, this set is specifically designed for 15mm pipework and will not fit 10mm or 22mm systems without additional adapters.

Can I install these myself?

While it is possible for those with plumbing experience, we recommend a qualified professional to ensure all connections are leak-proof.

What is the benefit of a bi-directional valve?

A bi-directional valve allows for more flexibility during installation, as it can be fitted to either the flow or return side of the radiator.

Does the set include both the valve and the lockshield?

Yes, the G-Rad set includes one thermostatic radiator valve and one matching lockshield.

How do I clean the grey finish?

Use a soft cloth with a mild detergent if necessary, ensuring it is dried thoroughly afterward. Avoid abrasive chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Radiator fails to heat up

Check that the thermostatic head is not set to the lowest position or frozen. Ensure the pin beneath the head is not stuck by gently pressing it to verify it moves freely.

Leaking around the valve connection

Ensure that the compression fitting is fully tightened and that the olive has been seated correctly during installation.

Inconsistent room temperature

Verify that the thermostatic sensor is not obstructed by furniture or curtains, which can trap heat and cause the sensor to shut off prematurely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sleek and contemporary grey finish
  • Energy-efficient temperature regulation
  • Versatile bi-directional installation
  • Complete set including matching lockshield
  • Durable construction for designer radiators

Cons

  • Limited to 15mm pipework diameter
  • Grey finish may not match all traditional white fittings
  • Professional installation recommended for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure all seals are pressure-tested and secure. The valve is designed for 15mm pipework; verify your existing infrastructure before beginning the swap. Because the valve body is bi-directional, it can be mounted on either the flow or return pipe of the radiator without sacrificing efficiency. For routine care, wipe the valves down with a soft, dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth to maintain the grey finish. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the aesthetic coating over time.
