This guide is for homeowners and plumbers looking to install modern, stylish radiator valves. The key benefit is the high-quality chrome-plated brass construction that complements contemporary radiators, offering durability and a sleek finish. A potential caveat is that these are manual valves, requiring manual adjustment for temperature control. These angled valves are designed as a pair to add a finishing touch to modern or designer radiators and heated towel rails, featuring a 1/2 thread for broad compatibility and bi-directional fitting for flexible installation.

These are angled valves. For straight connections, you would need the 'Straight' orientation version of the Elego radiator valves.
Yes, these manual valves are compatible with combi boiler systems, as they manually regulate the water flow to individual radiators. However, they do not offer automatic temperature control like TRVs.
Bi-directional means the valve can be installed on either the pipe that supplies hot water to the radiator (flow) or the pipe that returns cooler water (return), offering installation flexibility.
You need angled valves if the pipework comes out of the wall and needs to turn upwards to connect to the radiator. Straight valves are used when the pipework runs parallel to the radiator and connects directly.
These are manual valves and cannot be converted into thermostatic valves. If you require thermostatic control, you would need to purchase thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) separately.
The radiator coupler has a 1/2 BSPT thread, which is standard for most radiators.
Yes, these valves are supplied as a pair to fit a single radiator. If you have multiple radiators needing new valves, you will need to purchase a separate pair for each.
Ensure the 1/2 BSPT thread is properly sealed and the valve is securely tightened onto the radiator. Check the compression fittings on the pipework for tightness.
Ensure the manual valve is fully open. Check that the valve is fitted on the correct pipe (flow) and that there are no blockages in the radiator or pipes. Verify the central heating system is functioning correctly.
The valve may be new or have been in a fixed position for a long time. Try gently turning it back and forth. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism.
If the valve is stuck open or closed, it may require replacement. Try applying gentle heat to the valve body (not the handle) to expand the metal slightly, then attempt to turn. If unsuccessful, consult a professional.
