Radiator Valves are essential to controlling the temperature of your radiators at home and control the temperature of a room by changing the flow of hot water to the radiator. The valve gradually closes as the temperature of the surrounding area increases, limiting the amount of hot water entering the radiator. This allows a maximum temperature to be set for each room.
Our range of radiator valves include manual radiator valves, thermostatic radiator valves and traditional radiator valves.
Manual radiator valves have no thermostatic control. The radiator temperature is controlled through the thermostat on your central heating system and the manual valve is only used to turn the radiator on and off. The maximum flow of hot water out of the radiator is controlled by adjusting the lockshield valve on the radiator outlet as for thermostatic valves.
All of our manual radiator valves are sold as a pair which contains a wheelhead and lockshield valve.
Thermostatic radiator valves control the temperature of the radiator via a built-in sensor, which automatically opens and closes the flow of water into the radiator, maintaining the room at the pre-set temperature. A manual valve can only control the temperature of the radiator regardless of the room temperature. Thermostatic radiator valves are recommended by the Energy Saving Trust and under the government’s efficient heating advice.
All of our thermostatic radiator valves are sold as a pair which contains a thermostatic valve and lockshield valve.
Traditional radiator valves will fit all radiators but are generally bought to compliment a traditional radiator such as our column radiators, cast iron radiators or traditional towel rails.
Manual radiator valves have no thermostatic control. The radiator temperature is controlled through the thermostat on your central heating system and the manual valve is only used to turn the radiator on and off.
Thermostatic radiator valves control the temperature of the radiator via a built-in sensor, which automatically opens and closes the flow of water into the radiator, maintaining the room at the pre-set temperature.
