The Elego TRV Corner Thermostatic Radiator Valves in Anthracite Gray are designed for homeowners looking to upgrade their modern heated towel rails or radiators for enhanced comfort and energy efficiency. The key benefit is precise room temperature control, leading to reduced energy consumption and lower heating costs. A caveat is that these valves are not bi-directional and require specific installation on the flow and return sides. This guide covers their features, usage, and maintenance.

The primary benefit is precise temperature control, allowing you to set and maintain specific room temperatures, which enhances comfort and saves energy by preventing overheating.
These valves are designed to be compatible with all Elego water radiator ranges and are generally suitable for most standard water radiators with 15mm compression inlets and 1/2 BSPT radiator connections.
The TRV head should always be installed on the pipe that carries hot water *to* the radiator (flow), and the lockshield valve on the pipe that carries cooled water *away* (return).
The frost protection setting will automatically open the valve slightly when the room temperature drops to around 7°C, allowing a small amount of hot water to circulate and prevent your pipes and radiator from freezing.
Turn the thermostatic head. The numbers or symbols indicated (usually 1-5) correspond to different temperature settings, with higher numbers indicating a higher desired room temperature.
No, these radiator valves are not bi-directional. They must be installed with the thermostatic head on the flow side and the lockshield on the return side for proper operation.
The valves are constructed from solid brass for durability and a high-quality finish, with ABS components for the thermostatic head.
Ensure the TRV head is not set to the lowest setting or frost protection (star symbol). Check that the lockshield valve is open. Verify the TRV head is correctly installed on the flow pipe.
Confirm the TRV head is installed on the flow pipe and the lockshield on the return. Check if the TRV head is malfunctioning; try removing the head (following manual instructions) and manually opening the valve pin slightly. Ensure the correct valve orientation is used for your pipework.
Ensure all compression fittings are securely tightened. Check O-rings and seals for damage. If the leak persists, you may need to replace the valve or consult a professional plumber.
Ensure the head is properly seated on the valve body. Sometimes, mineral buildup can occur; attempt gentle rotation. If still stiff, it may require replacement.
