FAQs

What does 'TRV' stand for?

TRV stands for Thermostatic Radiator Valve, which is a device designed to regulate the temperature of a radiator.

How do I set the temperature on this valve?

You can set the desired temperature by turning the thermostat dial on the valve head. Typically, numbers on the dial correspond to approximate room temperatures, with higher numbers indicating a warmer setting.

Is this valve suitable for all types of central heating systems?

This valve is designed for use with standard hot water-based central heating systems. Compatibility depends on the radiator valve's connection size (10mm in this case).

What is the benefit of an 'angle' design?

The angled design of the valve body helps to orient the pipework and the valve head in a more convenient direction, often facilitating easier installation and a neater appearance, particularly in confined spaces.

How does the frost protection work?

The frost protection setting, usually indicated by a snowflake symbol or a low number (e.g., '1'), keeps the radiator at a low temperature just above freezing to prevent water inside from freezing and causing damage during cold weather when the heating is off.

Can I install this myself?

Basic DIY skills and plumbing knowledge are usually sufficient for installation. However, if you are unsure, it is recommended to hire a qualified professional to ensure correct and safe installation.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up at all

Ensure the main valve head is not set to the lowest setting or frost protection. Check that the lockshield valve is fully open. Verify there are no airlocks in the system by bleeding the radiator.

Radiator is too hot or not hot enough

Adjust the thermostat dial on the valve head to the desired temperature setting. Allow time for the room temperature to stabilize after adjustment.

Leaking from the valve connection

Turn off the heating system and isolate the radiator. Gently tighten the connection nut. If the leak persists, the valve may need professional servicing or replacement.

Valve head is stiff or difficult to turn

Cycle the thermostat head through its full range of motion. If it remains stiff, the internal mechanism may be affected by debris or scale; gentle cycling or professional cleaning might be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables room-by-room temperature control for enhanced comfort.
  • Helps reduce energy consumption and heating bills.
  • Frost protection feature prevents pipe damage in cold weather.
  • Angled design simplifies installation in various pipe configurations.
  • Reliable temperature regulation for consistent warmth.

Cons

  • The 10mm connection may not fit all radiator valves.
  • Requires manual adjustment for temperature changes.
  • Does not offer smart home integration or remote control.
  • Installation may require basic plumbing knowledge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the main heating system is turned off and the radiator has cooled down.
  2. Isolate the radiator by closing both the radiator valve and the lockshield valve.
  3. Remove the old valve.
  4. Attach the Myson Matchmate TRV valve, ensuring the 10mm connection is secure. The angled design should be considered for optimal pipe alignment.
  5. Turn the heating system back on and check for leaks.

Compatibility:

This valve is designed with a 10mm connection. It is compatible with radiator valves that have a corresponding 10mm inlet. Please verify your existing radiator valve connection size before purchasing.

Care:

  • Periodically check for leaks around the connection.
  • To prevent the valve from sticking, especially after long periods of non-use, it is recommended to turn the thermostat head to its highest setting in summer and to a low setting in winter. Cycle the head a few times throughout the year.
  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
