Get to Know Your Radiator Valves
1.Manual Radiator Valves
work like a tap, you can turn the top of the valve to allow more or less water into your radiator.
2.Straight Radiator Valves
join the radiator to the central heating pipework in a straight, horizontal line. The pipe work
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
The benefit of using Corner valves when pipe work is coming from the wall is that the radiator head will be pointing upwards and will not increase the overall depth of your radiator.
5.Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs)
unlike manual valves can self regulate. This means it takes into account the room temperature ensuring the radiator works at a maximum room temperature.
6. Lockshield Valves
regulates the amount of water flowing out of the radiators into the return pipes which helps to ensure water is evenly distributed across all radiators in your property providing an even heat.
