Product Information

Full details

This pair of modern angled radiator valves from Elego in Grey is designed for users looking to add a sleek, finishing touch to their contemporary or designer radiators and heated towel rails. The key benefit is their universal compatibility with 1/2 thread fittings and all radiator types in the Elego range, ensuring a straightforward installation. A minor caveat is that these are manual valves, offering basic flow control rather than thermostatic regulation. They are constructed from durable brass with an ABS finish, featuring an adjustable water flow and a bi-directional design for flexible fitting.

FAQs

Are these valves suitable for all radiator types?

Yes, these valves are compatible with all Elego radiators, including column, panel, vertical flat tube, and aluminium radiators, due to their standard 1/2 thread connection.

Can I use these valves with a combi boiler system?

Yes, these are manual valves and can be used with any standard heating system, including those with combi boilers, provided the pipework and radiator connections are compatible.

What does 'bi-directional' mean for these valves?

Bi-directional means the valve can be fitted on either the flow (hot water in) or return (water out) pipe of your radiator, offering flexibility during installation.

Do I need a special tool to install these valves?

Standard plumbing tools such as adjustable wrenches and pipe cutters may be required for installation. Ensure you have PTFE tape or pipe sealant for threaded connections.

How do I adjust the water flow?

The valve has a manual spindle that can be turned to open or close the water flow to the radiator. Turn clockwise to close and counter-clockwise to open.

What is the difference between angled and straight valves?

Angled valves are designed for pipework that comes out of the wall at an angle to the radiator connection, while straight valves are for when the pipework comes directly out of the floor or wall towards the radiator.

Troubleshooting

Valve is leaking from the connection to the radiator.

Ensure the 1/2 BSPT thread is properly sealed with PTFE tape or pipe sealant and that the valve is screwed in securely.

Valve is leaking from the pipework connection.

Check that the 15mm compression fittings are tightened correctly and that the pipework is clean and free of obstructions.

Radiator is not heating up or cooling down correctly.

Verify the valve is fully open or adjusted to the desired position. Ensure there are no blockages in the radiator or pipework and that the system is properly bled.

Valve is difficult to turn.

Check for debris in the valve mechanism. If the issue persists, it may indicate an internal fault, and the valve may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

These valves feature a 1/2 BSPT radiator coupler and 15mm compression inlets. They are designed to be compatible with all Elego radiators and heated towel rails. Ensure your existing radiator or pipework has a corresponding 1/2 BSPT connection for the valve and 15mm pipework for the compression fittings.

Setup:

  1. Isolate the water supply to the radiator.
  2. Drain the radiator and existing valves.
  3. Using appropriate PTFE tape or sealant on the 1/2 BSPT thread, screw the new valve into the radiator.
  4. Connect the 15mm compression inlets to your system's flow and return pipes using the provided fittings and appropriate pipework.
  5. Ensure all connections are secure.
  6. Slowly turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.
  7. Bleed any air from the radiator.

Care:

Clean the valves with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the matte finish. Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage.
