Get to Know Your Radiator Valves

valve inlets that your new radiator requires and the position of the central heating supply
flow and return pipes that your radiator feeds off. See the information below:

comes from the floor.

3.Angled  Radiator Valves

allow you to join the central heating pipework to the radiator at an angle.The radiator valve has a 90° bend in it so that the valve inlet can be met in either a horizontal or vertical position. The pipe work comes from the wall.

4.Corner Radiator Valves
