FAQs

Does this kit fit 10mm pipework?

No, this specific model is designed for 15mm pipework.

Can I install this myself?

If you are confident in draining and refilling a central heating system, it is possible; otherwise, professional installation is recommended.

What does the lockshield do?

The lockshield is used to balance the flow of water through the radiator, ensuring the entire system heats up evenly.

Is the finish prone to rusting?

The brushed silver finish is durable, but it should be kept dry and cleaned with a soft cloth to maintain its appearance.

Is this compatible with all radiators?

It is compatible with all radiators featuring standard 1/2 inch BSP connections.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up

Ensure the thermostatic head is set to a high enough number and that the system has been properly bled of trapped air.

Valve is leaking

Check that the connections are tight and that sufficient PTFE tape or jointing compound was used on the threads during installation.

No change in temperature

Verify that the valve is correctly installed in the flow or return pipe according to manufacturer guidelines.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise thermostatic temperature regulation
  • Sophisticated brushed silver finish
  • Standard 15mm and 1/2 inch BSP sizing for easy integration
  • Comprehensive kit includes both TRV and lockshield

  • Requires plumbing knowledge for installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Derry Bold kit requires draining your central heating system. Ensure that you have the necessary tools, such as an adjustable wrench and PTFE tape, before beginning. The valve connects directly to standard 15mm pipework and is compatible with all radiators utilizing 1/2 inch BSP connections. To maintain the brushed silver finish, wipe the valves periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the finish and cause the metal to lose its luster. Periodically check that the valve head rotates freely to ensure the internal thermostat remains responsive.
