Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these valves thermostatic?

No, these are manual radiator valves. They do not automatically adjust based on room temperature.

Can I use these for a towel rail?

Yes, these valves are compatible with most designer towel rails that feature a 1/2 BSPT bottom connection.

What pipe size do these fit?

They are designed for standard 15mm domestic heating pipework.

Do I need to drain the system to install these?

Yes, you must drain the radiator and the surrounding pipework section before removing existing valves to prevent water damage.

Does the set include two valves?

Yes, the product is supplied as a pair, which is enough to complete the installation for one radiator.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking from the compression nut

Ensure the pipe is cut square and the olive is seated correctly. Tighten the nut firmly with a wrench. If it persists, inspect the olive for damage.

Valve is stiff to operate

Ensure there is no grit or debris inside the mechanism. Periodic operation of the valve prevents the internal parts from seizing over long periods of inactivity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile bi-directional pipe fitting
  • Robust brass construction
  • Sleek matte grey finish
  • Compatible with most common 15mm radiator systems
  • Easy to operate manual flow control

Cons

  • Not thermostatic (no automatic temperature regulation)
  • Requires professional plumbing knowledge for installation
  • Limited to manual operation only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure your heating system is fully drained before attempting to replace existing valves. The 15mm compression fitting requires a standard wrench and, optionally, a small amount of PTFE tape on the threads to ensure a watertight seal.

Compatibility: These valves are compatible with standard 15mm copper or plastic pipework. The 1/2 BSPT thread is the industry standard for radiator inlets.

Care: To maintain the matte grey finish, clean the valves with a soft, damp cloth only. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the finish and lead to corrosion over time. Periodically check the compression nuts for any signs of weeping and tighten slightly if necessary.
