FAQs
How do I adjust the temperature?
Turn the thermostatic head to the desired temperature setting. The valve will automatically regulate the heat output to maintain that temperature.
What tools do I need for installation?
You'll need a pipe wrench, PTFE tape for sealing, and possibly a screwdriver.
Can I use this valve with any radiator?
This valve is designed for use with all Milano radiators and heated towel rails. Ensure it's compatible with your pipework.
How do I bleed the radiator?
Use a radiator key to open the bleed valve, usually located at the top of the radiator, until air is released and water starts to flow.
What if the valve leaks after installation?
Check and tighten all connections. If the leak persists, turn off the heating system and contact a qualified plumber.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the chrome finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is there a warranty on the valve?
Refer to the product packaging or your retailer for warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating up.
Check that the valve is open (thermostatic head set to a higher temperature). Check for air in the radiator by bleeding it. Check the water pressure in the system.

Tighten the valve connections. If the leak persists, check for damage to the valve or connections. Replace any damaged parts and re-seal the connections.
