Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard plumbing tools and a basic understanding of central heating systems. Before starting, ensure the heating system is fully drained to prevent leaks. The valves use a 15mm compression fit, which means you should tighten the nuts onto the pipe firmly using an adjustable spanner to create a watertight seal without over-torquing, which could damage the threads.
For ongoing care, wipe the valves occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to maintain the grey finish. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or harsh cleaning agents, as these may strip the surface finish. If you notice a leak, first check the tightness of the compression nut; in most cases, a slight turn will rectify the issue.
