FAQs
Are these valves suitable for all types of radiators?
Yes, these valves are designed to work with all water radiator ranges, provided the connections (15mm compression inlets, 1/2 BSPT radiator coupler) are compatible.
How do I know which pipe is the flow and which is the return?
Typically, the flow pipe is the one that gets hot first when the heating is turned on. The return pipe is usually cooler and located at the bottom of the radiator. Correct identification is crucial for installation.
What does 'not bi-directional' mean?
It means the valve must be installed in a specific direction relative to the water flow. The thermostatic head (temperature control part) must be on the inlet (flow) pipe, and the lockshield (balancing part) must be on the outlet (return) pipe.
How does the frost protection work?
When the valve is set to its lowest setting (often indicated by a snowflake symbol), it will automatically open slightly to allow water circulation if the room temperature drops below approximately 7°C, preventing your pipes and radiator from freezing.
Can I install these myself?
While DIY installation is possible for those with plumbing experience, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct orientation, secure fittings, and optimal performance. Refer to the included manual for guidance.
What is the warranty period for these valves?
Please refer to the product packaging or the online user manual for specific warranty details, as this information is not provided in the product description.
How do I adjust the temperature?
The temperature is adjusted by rotating the thermostatic head. The numbers or symbols on the head correspond to different temperature settings. For exact temperature equivalents, consult the user manual.
Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating at all
Ensure the thermostatic head is not set to the frost protection setting (typically marked with a snowflake or '5'). Check that the valve is not fully closed. Verify correct installation on the flow pipe.
Radiator is always fully hot
Ensure the thermostatic head is correctly installed on the flow pipe and the lockshield on the return pipe. Check if the thermostatic head is stuck or damaged. Ensure it is not set to the maximum setting.
Leaking from the valve body
Check all compression fittings are tight. If leaking from the spindle, the valve may require servicing or replacement.
Thermostatic head feels loose or stiff
Ensure the locking nut for the thermostatic head is securely tightened. If stiff, gently try to rotate the head to loosen it. Refer to the manual for specific head removal and refitting instructions if necessary.
