FAQs

Does this set include both the TRV and the lockshield?

Yes, the pack includes one thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) and one matching lockshield valve.

Can I install this on a towel rail?

Yes, the standard 1/2 inch thread makes it perfectly compatible with most designer towel rails.

What is the purpose of the lockshield valve?

The lockshield is used to balance the heating system by restricting the water flow, ensuring all radiators in your home heat up evenly.

Is the valve orientation reversible?

The valve body is bi-directional, meaning water can flow in either direction without causing noise or performance issues.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need an adjustable spanner, a pipe cutter or hacksaw, and standard plumbing consumables like PTFE tape.

Troubleshooting

The radiator is not heating up

Ensure the thermostatic head is set to the correct temperature number and check if the radiator needs bleeding to remove trapped air.

Leaking at the pipe connection

Check that the compression nut is tightened securely and ensure the pipe is cut cleanly with no burrs preventing the olive from seating correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Refined, modern aesthetic with a high-quality white coating
  • Bi-directional flow increases installation versatility
  • Accurate temperature management for improved comfort
  • Standardized threading simplifies compatibility with existing towel rails and radiators

Cons

  • Angled orientation may not be suitable for all straight-pipe configurations
  • Requires professional plumbing knowledge for proper installation
  • Only available in white, which may not suit all interior color palettes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires draining the radiator system. Ensure the system is fully depressurized before removing existing valves. The 15mm compression fittings should be tightened with appropriate plumbing tools, using PTFE tape or jointing compound where necessary to ensure a watertight seal.

Compatibility: This set is designed for standard 15mm central heating pipes and 1/2 inch radiator inlets.

Care: Clean the white coating periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the finish and lead to corrosion over time.
