Straight, angled or corner valve?

Straight -  Straight valves are typically used where the pipe work comes up from the floor.  These can either be through floor boards or along the skirting board and come up vertically to the underside of the towel rail and valves.

Angled - When used with a ladder style heated towel rail, angled valves are typically used where the central heating feed and return pipes come out of the wall. Angled valves offer a more elegant finish for your installation.  Add a matching sleeve to add a finishing touch.

Corner - These can be thought of as the neatest of all the valves, and is essentially an "angled angled" valve, so best suited for pipework  coming out of a wall.

Manual or TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve)

Both types of valves are found throughout homes everywhere, though  there's an increasing uptake of TRV valves due to its energy saving benefits.

Manual - these valves allow you to control the flow of water through the radiator and this controls the heat output. Adjustments are made by simply turning the wheelhead of the valve as much as needed.  Fully opening the valve allows the most flow and maximum heat.

Thermostatic - these are self-regulating valves which control the temperature of a room by regulating the flow of hot water to the radiator. A TRV consists of two parts: a valve that opens or closes to control the hot water flow and a sensor that controls the opening of the valve. The sensor contains a sensing substance, which adjusts the valve opening based on the temperature in the room and via a physical connection between the actuator-spindle and the valve-spindle/cone.

A TRV should not be fitted on a radiator where it is in the same room as the main house/rooms thermostat as this can lead to inaccurate overall house temperature control.

Sleeving kit

With a typical radiator installation there might be a small section of  copper pipe visible. Sleeves are short sections of brass tubing, finished to match your radiator valve, which slip over your existing  pipes to hide them. Our kits come with matching plates which sit on the floor or wall where the pipe emerges, which conceals the junction.
