FAQs
Are these valves suitable for all types of radiators?
These valves are designed for standard radiators with 1/2" British Standard Pipe (BSP) connections. It's always best to check your existing radiator's fitting size before purchasing.
Do these valves come with a thermostat function?
The product description indicates 'Thermo Radiator Valve Pack', suggesting they are thermostatic valves designed for temperature control. Please refer to the specific product packaging or model details for confirmation of the thermostat features.
What is included in the pack?
The pack is sold in pairs, meaning it includes two radiator valves, typically one for the inlet and one for the outlet of a single radiator.
How do I clean and maintain the chrome finish?
Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution, rinse well, and dry with a soft cloth.
What is the warranty period for these valves?
The manufacturer provides a 5 Year Guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials, provided they have been installed, cared for, and used according to instructions.
Can I install these myself?
Basic plumbing knowledge is sufficient for installation, but professional installation is recommended to ensure correct fitting and to comply with the guarantee.
What does 'straight' refer to in the product name?
'Straight' refers to the design of the valve body, indicating it runs in a straight line from the pipe to the radiator connection, as opposed to an 'angled' valve.
Troubleshooting
Radiator is not heating up or is only partially heating.
Check if the valve is fully open. Ensure there are no airlocks in the system by bleeding the radiator. Verify that the thermostat head (if applicable) is functioning correctly and not set too low.
Valve is leaking from the connection point.
Turn off the water supply to the radiator. Check that the connection is tight. Reapply PTFE tape or pipe sealant to the threads and retighten the connection securely but without overtightening.
Valve is difficult to turn or feels stiff.
Ensure the valve is not seized. If it's a thermostatic valve, the thermostat head might need to be removed to access the pin, which may require gentle wiggling. If stiffness persists, professional assessment may be needed.
Chrome finish appears dull or discolored.
Clean the valve with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can cause damage and discoloration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation requires basic plumbing skills. Ensure the main water supply is turned off before beginning. The valves connect to the radiator's inlet and outlet pipes using the 1/2" British Standard Pipe tapping. It is recommended to use PTFE tape or pipe sealant on threaded connections to ensure a watertight seal. Always follow the manufacturer's specific installation instructions. For optimal performance and to comply with the guarantee, professional installation is advised.
Compatibility:
These valves are designed with a 1/2" British Standard Pipe (BSP) tapping, which is a common size for UK plumbing systems. They are intended for use with standard radiators. Ensure your existing radiator pipework matches this standard before purchasing. They are suitable for both hot water central heating systems.
Care:
To maintain the sleek chrome finish, clean the valves regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse and drying with a soft cloth. Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage and ensure the valve operates smoothly.
