FAQs

Are these valves suitable for all types of radiators?

Yes, they are compatible with all water radiator ranges with a 1/2 BSPT thread, including heated towel rails, column, panel, and aluminium radiators.

What size pipe do these valves connect to?

The valves have 15mm compression inlets, suitable for standard 15mm heating pipework.

Can I install these valves myself?

Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge. If you are not comfortable draining your system and making connections, it is recommended to hire a qualified plumber.

How do I clean the matte black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to protect the finish.

What does 'bi-directional' mean for these valves?

It means the valve can be fitted on either the incoming hot water pipe (flow) or the outgoing water pipe (return) to the radiator.

Are these smart or thermostatic valves?

No, these are manual valves that allow for adjustable water flow control but do not have automatic temperature regulation like thermostatic valves.

What is included in the package?

The valves are supplied as a pair, sufficient to fit one radiator.

Troubleshooting

Valve is leaking from the connection.

Ensure the compression nut on the 15mm inlet is adequately tightened. If the leak persists, check the integrity of the pipe or fitting and consider replacing any worn seals or components.

Radiator is not heating up or heating unevenly.

Check that the valve is fully open. Ensure the system water flow is not obstructed elsewhere. If using manual control, adjust the valve to allow more water flow. Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air.

Valve is difficult to turn.

The valve may have been overtightened during installation or may have accumulated debris. Ensure the system is isolated and consider gently working the valve back and forth. If issues persist, professional servicing may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality solid brass construction for durability.
  • Sleek, modern matte black finish enhances radiator aesthetics.
  • Versatile compatibility with most water radiator ranges.
  • Bi-directional installation offers fitting flexibility.
  • Adjustable water flow for temperature control.

Cons

  • Requires 15mm compression fittings, not suitable for direct connection to larger pipe sizes.
  • Angled design may not suit traditional radiator styles.
  • Manual operation requires user intervention for temperature adjustments.
  • Sold as a pair, meaning a single radiator purchase may leave one valve unused if only one is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These valves are supplied as a pair and are intended to be fitted to a single radiator, one on the flow pipe and one on the return pipe. Ensure the system is drained before installation. The 15mm compression inlets connect to your existing heating pipework, while the 1/2 BSPT coupler screws into the radiator connection. Hand-tighten then use a wrench for a secure fit on both connections, being careful not to overtighten.

Compatibility: The Elego valves are compatible with all water radiator ranges featuring a 1/2 BSPT thread. This includes heated towel rails, column radiators, panel radiators, vertical flat tube radiators, and aluminium radiators. They are designed to work with 15mm copper or plastic pipework.

Care: To maintain the matte black finish, clean the valves with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage and tighten if necessary.
