What valves should I use for my radiator?

You can use either a Thermostatic or Manual valve set. On larger radiators, or rooms where the radiators have been oversized we would normally recommend the fitting of a TRV (Thermostatic valve) although this is not essential. Our radiators are designed to accept both valves at the bottom for pressurised systems or if required for gravity fed systems, with the inlet valve fitted to the top on one side of the radiator, and the outlet (lock shield) to the bottom on the opposite side of the radiator. One point to remember is that if you are positioning a radiator in the same room/area where there is a central heating thermostat, it is recommended to use a manual control valve set, this will prevent the thermostat and TRV valve counter-acting each other.
