FAQs

Will this fit my 15mm copper pipes?

Yes, the Derry Bold kit is specifically designed for standard 15mm pipework.

Can I install this on any radiator?

It is compatible with radiators that feature a 1/2 inch BSP connection, which is the standard size for most modern UK radiators.

Do I need to hire a plumber?

While experienced DIYers may be comfortable with the process, it is recommended to use a qualified plumber to prevent leaks and ensure system pressure is maintained.

What is the purpose of the lockshield included in the kit?

The lockshield is used to balance the radiator, ensuring the heating system distributes heat effectively throughout your home.

Can I paint these valves to match my walls?

It is not recommended, as paint may interfere with the thermostatic sensor head's ability to detect ambient room temperature.

Troubleshooting

Radiator stays cold despite TRV being open

Check if the pin inside the TRV body is stuck. Remove the head and gently press the pin to ensure it moves freely.

Leaking from the valve connection

Ensure the connection is tightened correctly or check that sufficient PTFE tape was applied to the threads during installation.

Radiator makes a hissing or clicking noise

This often indicates the flow is reversed or the system needs balancing via the lockshield valve.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive kit includes all necessary installation components
  • Helps manage home heating efficiency
  • Stylish, modern silver finish
  • Compatible with most standard UK heating setups

Cons

  • Not suitable for non-standard pipe diameters without adapters
  • Requires professional plumbing knowledge for correct installation
  • Fixed silver color may not suit all interior design palettes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure a leak-free seal. The kit is designed for 15mm diameter copper pipework and uses the industry-standard 1/2 inch BSP thread for connecting to the radiator side.

  1. Preparation: Ensure the heating system is drained before removing existing valves.
  2. Installation: Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to connections if necessary.
  3. Balancing: Once installed, use the lockshield to balance the radiator output.
  4. Care: To maintain the silver finish, clean the valve with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may tarnish the metallic coating over time.
