FAQs

What is a TRV?

A thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is a self-regulating valve fitted to a hot water radiator heating system, used to control the room temperature by varying the flow of hot water to the radiator.

Do I need a professional to install the Ecocal TRV?

While the installation is designed to be straightforward, it is recommended to consult a qualified heating engineer for optimal performance and safety, especially if you are not familiar with plumbing.

What is the benefit of a liquid-filled sensing element?

A liquid-filled sensing element provides a more accurate and responsive temperature reading, contributing to better temperature control.

What is the 'TELL 'I' rating?

TELL (The European Labelling of Thermostatic Radiator Valves) 'I' rating signifies that the TRV meets specific European standards for energy efficiency and performance.

Where should I install the TRV?

The TRV can be installed on either the flow or return pipework. The reversible body allows for flexible installation.

Why is an automatic differential by-pass valve required?

An automatic differential by-pass valve is required in systems with TRVs to maintain the correct water flow and prevent issues like pump damage or noise.

How do I adjust the temperature setting?

Turn the valve head to the desired temperature setting. The numbers on the valve typically correspond to different temperature levels.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up.

Check the valve setting and ensure it is not set to the lowest temperature. Verify that the system is properly bled to remove any airlocks. Inspect the valve for any blockages.

Uneven heating across the radiator.

Ensure the valve is installed correctly and that there are no obstructions. Consider bleeding the radiator to remove air pockets.

Valve leaking.

Check the connections for tightness. If the leak persists, the valve may need to be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Installation: The Altecnic Ecocal TRV is designed for easy installation in both new and existing heating systems. The reversible body provides flexibility in fitting.
  2. Compatibility: These TRVs are compatible with 10mm pipework and suitable for use with both on-flow and return pipework in conventional twin-pipe systems. *Important*: An automatic differential by-pass valve must be fitted in conjunction with all thermostatic radiator valve systems for proper operation.
