FAQs

Can these valves be used with any radiator?

These valves are compatible with any radiator that accepts standard 1/2 inch BSP thread connections and uses 15mm piping.

Are these thermostatic valves?

No, these are manual valves, meaning they do not automatically adjust heat based on ambient room temperature.

How do I cut the pipe covers to size?

You can trim the pipe covers using a sharp hacksaw to match the distance between your floor and the valve inlet.

Will the brass finish rust in a bathroom?

The finish is designed for bathroom environments, but it should be kept dry and wiped down regularly to maintain its appearance.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need an adjustable spanner, PTFE tape, and a hacksaw for trimming the pipe covers.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking from the valve connection

Ensure that sufficient PTFE tape was applied to the radiator threads and that the compression nut on the pipe is tightened firmly.

Radiator is not heating up

Confirm that the manual valve is fully opened by turning it counter-clockwise and ensure the radiator has been bled to remove trapped air.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality brushed brass finish
  • All-in-one kit saves time on sourcing individual parts
  • Enhances the overall aesthetic of radiators
  • Standard 15mm and 1/2 inch BSP sizing for ease of use

Cons

  • Manual valves require physical adjustment rather than thermostatic control
  • Brushed brass finish requires specific care to avoid scratching
  • Only suitable for angled installation setups

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this set, ensure your heating system is fully drained and depressurized to prevent leaks. The valves utilize a standard 1/2 inch BSP thread, meaning they will screw directly into the base of most radiators using PTFE tape for a watertight seal. The 15mm compression nuts will secure onto your existing central heating pipes.

When cutting the pipe covers, use a fine-tooth hacksaw to ensure a clean edge that fits flush against the floor collars. For maintenance, clean the brushed brass surfaces only with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges, acidic bathroom cleaners, or bleach, as these can strip the finish and cause permanent discoloration.
