FAQs
What does TRV stand for?
TRV stands for Thermostatic Radiator Valve.
Can I install these valves myself?
Basic plumbing knowledge is recommended. If you are unsure, it is best to hire a qualified plumber for installation.
How do I know which pipe is the flow and which is the return?
The flow pipe is the one that carries hot water *into* the radiator. The return pipe carries cooler water *out*. The TRV head must be installed on the flow side.
What temperature does the frost protection activate?
The frost protection setting will allow water to flow when the room temperature drops below approximately 7°C to prevent the system from freezing.
How do I fully shut off the radiator?
Consult the online user manual for specific instructions on how to fully shut off the valve. The TRV head itself is for temperature control, not a complete shut-off valve.
What material are these valves made of?
The valves are constructed from durable brass with ABS components for the head.
What is included in the box?
The box contains one Thermostatic Valve, one Lockshield Valve, and a User/Install Manual.
Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating up
Ensure the TRV is not set to a very low temperature or frost setting. Check that the valve pin is not stuck by gently pressing it a few times. Verify installation on the correct flow and return pipes.
Radiator is always fully hot
Ensure the TRV head is correctly attached and that the temperature setting is not at its maximum. Check that the valve pin is moving freely.
Leaking from valve connection
Ensure all compression fittings and connections are securely tightened. Check any seals or washers for damage. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber.
TRV head is loose
Ensure the locking nut or screw securing the TRV head to the valve body is tightened appropriately.
