FAQs
What is 'Dual Fuel' capability?
Dual Fuel means the valve set can be used with a standard central heating system or, by adding a compatible electric heating element, it can function independently of the central heating, allowing for heating outside of the main heating season.
Can I use this valve set with straight pipework?
No, this valve set is specifically designed for corner installations where the pipework angles from the wall. For straight pipework, you would need a straight radiator valve set.
What is included in the set?
The set includes the dual fuel corner radiator valve, two 200mm x 15mm clip-on pipe covers, and two collars for a complete and polished installation.
How do I clean the brushed brass finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads, which can scratch or damage the brushed brass finish.
What size pipes does this valve set connect to?
The valve set features 1/2” compression valve connections for the radiator and is designed to work with 15mm pipework coming from the wall.
Is professional installation required?
While suitable for DIY installation by those comfortable with plumbing, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct fitting, prevent leaks, and guarantee optimal system performance and safety.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information provided with the product or on the FNX Bathrooms website for details on the warranty period and coverage.
Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating effectively
Check that the manual control is open. Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air. Ensure the central heating system is functioning correctly or the electric element is properly connected and powered.
Leaking at the connection points
Ensure all compression fittings are tightened correctly. If leaking persists, the valve may need to be reseated or replaced. Turn off the water supply before attempting any adjustments.
Pipe covers do not fit securely
Verify you are using the correct pipe covers and collars included in the set. Ensure the pipework is straight and within the specified dimensions for the clip-on covers.
Difficulty turning the manual control knob
Ensure the valve is fully installed and connected. If the knob is stiff, it might require gentle lubrication or may indicate an internal valve issue. Contact support if the problem persists.
