FAQs

Are these valves thermostatic?

No, these are manual valves, meaning you adjust the temperature by turning the head yourself rather than having it automatically regulate based on room temperature.

What size connection do these valves use?

These valves feature a standard 1/2 inch BSP connection, which is compatible with most standard residential radiators.

Can I use these if my pipes come out of the wall?

This model is designed as a straight valve, which is primarily intended for floor-based pipe entries. For wall-mounted pipework, angled valves are typically preferred.

How do I maintain the gold finish?

Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges to prevent damaging the gold coating.

Does this come as a pair?

Yes, these are supplied as a pair to facilitate both the inlet and outlet sides of your radiator.

Troubleshooting

Valve leaking after installation

Ensure that the threads have sufficient PTFE tape and that the connections are tightened securely with an appropriate wrench.

Radiator not heating up

Check that the manual valve is turned fully to the open position and that the radiator has been properly bled of trapped air.

Stiff manual adjustment

Ensure no debris is caught in the valve head and verify that the valve has not been overtightened during the installation process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated gold aesthetic
  • Easy manual operation
  • Universal 1/2 inch BSP connection
  • Durable build quality

Cons

  • Manual control lacks automatic thermostatic settings
  • Straight valve design is not suitable for all pipework configurations
  • Requires manual adjustment for temperature changes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure your existing pipework is compatible with a 1/2 inch BSP connection. As these are straight valves, they are best suited for radiators where the valves are at the base and pipes rise from the floor. Use PTFE tape on the threads to ensure a leak-free seal during installation. For care, wipe down the valves occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the luster of the gold finish. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or chemicals, as these may scratch or degrade the metallic coating over time.
