FAQs

What does 'thermostatic' mean in this context?

Thermostatic control means the valve automatically regulates the flow of hot water to maintain a set temperature, unlike manual valves which require constant adjustment.

What is a lockshield valve for?

A lockshield valve is used to balance the heating system. It allows you to adjust the water flow to individual radiators so that all radiators in your home heat up evenly.

Can I use this valve if my pipes come out of the wall?

No, this is a 'straight' valve designed specifically for pipework emerging directly from the floor. For wall pipework, you would need an angled radiator valve.

How do I adjust the temperature?

Simply twist the thermostatic head. Different numbers on the dial correspond to different temperature settings, typically from a frost protection level to maximum heat.

What is the guarantee period?

This DuraTherm radiator valve pack comes with a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

What size connection does this valve have?

This valve has a standard 15mm connection size.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth and wipe gently. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or polishes that could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up

Ensure the thermostatic head is not set to the minimum setting or 'off'. Check that the lockshield valve is not fully closed. Verify that the central heating system is operational and hot water is flowing.

Radiator is too hot or too cold

Adjust the thermostatic head to your desired temperature setting. If the issue persists across multiple radiators, the lockshield valve may need adjustment for system balancing. Consult a professional if unsure.

Valve is leaking

Check all connections for tightness. If the leak persists, there may be an issue with the valve's internal seals. Contact customer support or a qualified plumber.

Difficulty turning the thermostatic head

Ensure there are no obstructions. The head may be stiff due to infrequent use; try gently turning it back and forth. If still difficult, seek professional assistance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides consistent and energy-efficient temperature control.
  • Adds a modern and stylish aesthetic with its brushed brass finish.
  • Helps balance heating across multiple radiators with the included lockshield valve.
  • Durable construction backed by a 10-year guarantee.
  • Easy to adjust desired temperature by simply twisting the head.

Cons

  • Limited to installations with straight pipework coming from the floor.
  • Bi-directional flow is not supported, requiring correct installation orientation.
  • The brushed brass finish may require specific cleaning methods to maintain its appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This valve is designed for straight connections. Ensure your radiator pipes are coming directly out of the floor and align with the valve's straight entry point. Connect the valve to the radiator tail and the pipework according to standard plumbing practices. The lockshield valve should be adjusted during initial system balancing. Once set, secure the plastic cap to prevent accidental changes.

Compatibility:

This valve is compatible with central heating systems that utilize 15mm pipework. It is specifically designed for radiators where the pipework emerges vertically from the floor.

Care:

To maintain the brushed brass finish, clean the valve with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Periodically check connections for any signs of leaks.
