A TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve) automatically controls the room temperature by regulating hot water flow into the radiator. A Lockshield valve is used to balance the heating system by controlling the water flow returning from the radiator, ensuring even heat distribution across all radiators.
Yes, for optimal control and system balancing, both a TRV and a Lockshield valve are recommended for each radiator. This twin pack provides both necessary valves.
The LavaTherm Radiator Valve Twin Pack is designed for standard 15 mm UK central heating pipework.
If you have basic plumbing experience and the necessary tools, DIY installation is possible. However, if you are unsure, it is recommended to hire a qualified plumber to ensure correct installation and system balancing.
Set the TRV to the lowest temperature setting that keeps the room comfortable. For example, if '3' is comfortable, there's no need to set it higher. In unused rooms, set it to the 'snowflake' symbol or lowest setting to prevent the radiator from freezing.
Balancing involves adjusting the Lockshield valve to ensure all radiators heat up evenly. Typically, you adjust it so that radiators furthest from the boiler heat up first, and those closer heat up last. This process can be complex and often requires professional expertise for best results.
Wipe the valves with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
Ensure the TRV is not set to the lowest setting (usually '0' or snowflake symbol). Check that the heating system is on and water is circulating. Verify the Lockshield valve is open.
Adjust the TRV setting to a lower number. Ensure the Lockshield valve is correctly set to balance the system. Check for blockages in the radiator or pipework.
Check that all connections are securely tightened. If the leak persists, the valve may need to be replaced.
Ensure the locking nut or collar securing the TRV head to the valve body is tightened.
Ensure the Lockshield valve is correctly balanced. Air in the system can also cause noise; bleed radiators as necessary.
