Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size Allen key is needed?

A 6mm Allen key is required to adjust the valve.

Can I use this valve on any type of radiator?

The valve is compatible with most standard radiators with 15mm pipework.

How do I shut off a radiator completely?

Turn the valve clockwise until it is fully closed. This will stop the water flow to the radiator.

What material is the valve made from?

The valve is made of nickel-plated brass.

Is the valve easy to install?

Yes, the valve is designed for easy installation in standard 15mm pipe systems.

What is the purpose of the brass cap?

The brass cap protects the adjustment mechanism and prevents unauthorized changes.

How do I know if the valve is open or closed?

There are no clear visual indicators. You will have to use the Allen key to adjust the valve and monitor the radiator's temperature.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up.

Check if the lockshield valve is fully open. If it is, and the radiator is still cold, there may be an issue with the radiator itself or the central heating system.

Leaks at the valve connections.

Tighten the connections. If the leak persists, check the fittings for damage or replace them.

Difficulty adjusting the valve.

Ensure you are using a 6mm Allen key. If it's still difficult, apply a small amount of lubricant to the valve stem.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides precise control over radiator heat output.
  • Allows for easy isolation of individual radiators.
  • Durable and corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass construction.
  • Simple and straightforward installation process.
  • Compliant with BS 2767-10 standards.

Cons

  • Requires a 6mm Allen key for adjustment (not included).
  • Adjustment can be time-consuming to balance the system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the heating system is off and cooled down before commencing any work.
  2. Connect the valve to the radiator and pipework, ensuring a tight seal using appropriate fittings.
  3. Use a 6mm Allen key to adjust the valve to regulate water flow. Turning the key clockwise typically reduces flow; counter-clockwise increases it.
  4. After installation, carefully turn the system back on and check for leaks.

Care:
