FAQs

What size pipes does this valve fit?

This set is designed for standard 15mm pipes with a 1/2 inch BSP inlet.

Does this require any wiring or batteries?

No, this is a purely mechanical thermostatic valve and requires no electrical power, batteries, or external wiring.

What is the temperature range of this valve?

The valve features 6 levels of adjustment, allowing for temperature settings between 6 and 28 degrees Celsius.

Can I install this on a corner radiator?

No, this is a straight valve set. You should verify your radiator tail configuration before purchasing.

What does the frost protection setting do?

The frost protection setting keeps the valve at a minimum temperature to prevent water in the radiator from freezing, which helps protect your pipes from bursting during extremely cold weather.

Is this set compliant with safety regulations?

Yes, the product is compliant with the BS EN 215 standard for thermostatic radiator valves.

Troubleshooting

Radiator remains cold even when valve is turned up.

The internal valve pin may be stuck due to lack of use. Remove the TRV head and gently tap or push the pin to ensure it moves freely.

Leaking around the valve connection.

Ensure the union nuts are tightened correctly and check that the olive is seated properly. If the leak persists, consult a professional plumber as the joint may need additional PTFE tape or a replacement olive.

Valve makes a whistling noise.

This is often caused by high water pressure or flow speed. Adjusting the lockshield valve on the other side of the radiator to balance the system can often resolve the noise.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable mechanical design avoids battery or wiring needs
  • Stylish modern grey finish enhances radiator appearance
  • Effective energy savings through independent temperature control
  • Easy to adjust temperature levels on the dial
  • High temperature threshold for safety

  • Straight design only; not suitable for corner-pipe configurations
  • Manual adjustment only; no remote app-based control

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This unit is designed for standard 15mm radiator tails connecting to 1/2 inch BSP inlets. Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure system pressure is properly managed and connections are watertight. Once installed, care is minimal: periodically wipe the grey casing with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust accumulation. Do not use abrasive chemicals on the finish. Before the heating season begins, rotate the dial through its full range to ensure the internal valve pin remains free and responsive.
