FAQs

Are these valves suitable for all types of radiators?

These valves are designed for standard radiators with appropriate inlet threads. Their straight configuration is best suited for specific pipework setups.

Do these valves come with the necessary fittings for connection to pipes?

The valves themselves connect to the radiator. Pipe connection fittings are usually separate and depend on your existing pipework material and type (e.g., copper, plastic).

How do I know if I need straight valves?

Straight valves are used when the pipework comes out of the wall or floor directly behind the radiator and runs straight into the valve. Angled valves are used when the pipework comes out of the wall and needs to turn to connect to the radiator valve.

Can I use these valves with an electric radiator?

No, these valves are designed for use with central heating systems that use water and are not compatible with electric radiators.

What is the warranty period for these radiator valves?

Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or the retailer for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

How often should I clean the chrome finish?

Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is recommended to maintain the shine and prevent water spots. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up

Ensure the valve is fully open. Check if the central heating system is operational and if other radiators are heating. Bleed air from the radiator.

Valve is leaking

Check all connections for tightness. If the leak is from the valve body or spindle, it may require replacement or professional repair. Ensure appropriate sealant was used during installation.

Difficulty turning the valve handle

Mineral deposits may have built up. Try gently working the handle back and forth. If issues persist, the valve may need servicing or replacement.

Inconsistent heating

Ensure the valve is fully open or adjusted to the desired setting. Check for airlocks in the system or balanced flow issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the central heating system is turned off and drained down.
  2. Isolate the radiator by closing existing valves (if applicable).
  3. Remove the old radiator valves.
  4. Apply PTFE tape or appropriate sealant to the threads of the new valve inlets.
  5. Screw the straight valves into the radiator's corresponding ports, tightening firmly but without overtightening.
  6. Connect the valve tails to the pipework using appropriate fittings (e.g., compression fittings or soldered joints), ensuring a secure and leak-free connection.
  7. Refill the heating system and bleed any trapped air.
  8. Turn on the system and check for leaks at all connections.

Compatibility:

These valves are designed for use with standard central heating systems. They connect directly to radiators with appropriate inlet threads and are compatible with standard pipe sizes. They are intended for use with water-based heating systems.

Care:

  • Clean the polished chrome surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  • Dry the valves completely after cleaning to prevent water spots.
