Full details
The Plumbright Column Straight Valve Pair is an ideal choice for homeowners and installers looking to add a refined, professional finish to towel rails or radiators. Designed to offer both aesthetic appeal and essential heating control, these valves feature a durable silver chrome finish that resists rust and integrates seamlessly with modern bathroom or living room decor. While they excel in providing a high-quality, mirror-like appearance and reliable functionality, it is important to note that these are manual valves, meaning they do not provide automated thermostatic temperature control.

FAQs
Are these valves thermostatic?
No, the Plumbright Column Straight Valve Pair are manual valves and do not offer automatic temperature regulation.
Can I use these for angled radiator connections?
No, these are straight valves designed specifically for straight pipework connections. Using them on angled connections may result in poor fitment and leaks.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they will scratch and dull the chrome surface.
Do these come with installation instructions?
Standard installation steps apply to most radiator valves, but it is highly recommended to have a professional plumber handle the installation to ensure proper system sealing.
Will these fit any radiator?
They are compatible with standard residential radiator and towel rail installations using standard pipe fittings.
Troubleshooting
Valve is leaking from the nut
Tighten the compression nut carefully with an adjustable wrench, ensuring you do not overtighten and damage the internal seal.
Radiator not heating up
Ensure the valve is fully turned to the open position and check if the heating system needs to be bled to remove trapped air.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Plumbright Column Straight Valve Pair should be performed by a qualified plumber or a competent DIYer, as it requires draining your heating system. Ensure that your radiator connection point matches the 'straight' configuration required for these valves.
Care Instructions: To maintain the mirror-like chrome finish, avoid the use of abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners. Instead, wipe the valves down periodically with a soft, damp cloth and buff them dry with a clean microfiber towel to prevent water spots and scale buildup.
