FAQs

What is the main benefit of using thermostatic radiator valves?

Thermostatic radiator valves allow you to control the temperature in individual rooms, leading to improved comfort and energy savings by preventing overheating and reducing overall heating system usage.

Are these valves suitable for all types of radiators?

These valves are designed for modern heated towel rails and radiators with standard 15mm compression inlets and 1/2 BSPT radiator couplers. They are compatible with most water radiator ranges but are not bi-directional.

How do I install the thermostatic valve and lockshield?

The thermostatic head must be installed on the flow side of the pipe, and the lockshield valve on the return side. Always ensure the system is drained before installation and follow the detailed instructions in the user manual.

What does the frost protection feature do?

The frost protection feature allows a small amount of water to flow through the radiator when the room temperature drops below approximately 7°C, preventing the radiator and water within from freezing.

Can I fully shut off the heating to a room with these valves?

While the valves offer precise control and can be set to a low setting, for instructions on fully shutting off the valve, it is recommended to consult the online user manual.

What materials are these valves made from?

The valves are constructed from a durable combination of brass and ABS plastic.

What configurations are available?

These specific valves are the Angled configuration in Matte Black. Other styles (Straight, Corner) and finishes may be available separately.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up or only heating at the top.

Ensure the thermostatic head is fitted to the flow pipe and the lockshield to the return pipe. Check if the thermostatic head is set to a low temperature or '0'.

Valve is constantly running / radiator too hot.

Verify the thermostatic head is not set too high. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the valve pin from moving freely.

Leaking from valve connection.

Ensure compression fittings are tightened correctly. Check that any necessary seals or PTFE tape have been used as per installation guidelines.

Frost protection not engaging.

Ensure the valve is set to a low temperature setting that enables the frost protection feature. This typically occurs below 7°C.
