A lockshield valve is used to balance the heating system by setting the desired water flow to a radiator and preventing accidental or unauthorized changes.
Check the thread size and type of your existing radiator connections and compare them with the specifications of the GoodHome Radiator Valve & Lockshield.
Basic installation is possible for those with plumbing experience. However, for optimal results and to avoid potential issues, professional installation is often recommended.
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or discolor the finish.
You can adjust the flow using the lockshield valve. Turn it clockwise to reduce flow (less heat) or counter-clockwise to increase flow (more heat). Make small adjustments and allow the system to stabilize.
This is a component designed for use within standard home heating systems, working alongside other valves and plumbing to control radiator temperature.
Check if the lockshield valve needs adjustment to balance flow. Ensure the main radiator valve is fully open.
Tighten the connection slightly. If the leak persists, the fitting may require sealant or replacement.
The internal mechanism may have debris. Gently try to operate it; if severe, professional servicing might be needed.
Setup: Installation typically involves connecting the valve to the radiator's inlet and the lockshield to the outlet. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks. It is often recommended to isolate the heating system before installation. Refer to specific installation guides provided with the product for detailed steps.
Compatibility: This valve and lockshield set is designed for standard radiator connections. Verify thread sizes and types to ensure compatibility with your existing plumbing.
Care: To maintain the appearance and function, clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the silver finish. Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage.
