The other connection to consider is that of your pipework, these valves have a 8mm pipework connection (usually termed “microbore” pipework) and so will fit pipework of the same size. We have these valves available in 15mm and 10mm for those with standard (15mm) or larger microbore (10mm) pipework.

Straight valves are the ideal valve for older homes built before the modern home building styles of today. These are a simple but true saviour to bring older homes into the modern era, and not to be underestimated. Straight valves are used in the following set ups:

• Pipework comes from the floorboard up to the radiator, and the radiator connection is on the bottom.
• Pipework that runs along the wall or skirting board and the radiator has connections at the side.
• Pipework comes out from the wall and bends up and the radiator connection is on the bottom.
• Pipework comes out from the wall and bends round and the radiator has connections at the side.

Control Type

Thermostatic Radiator Valves, otherwise known as TRVs, provide multi temperature control of the radiators in your home – saving energy and money! These valves have liquid sensor mechanisms inside that shut off the flow of hot water to the radiator when the room temperature reached the desired level (which you set using the number dial on the TRV head). All of our Thermostatic radiator valves come with frost protection mode, which automatically opens the valve a little bit, even when fully switched off if the temperature of the room drops below a certain level – preventing your heating system, radiator and pipe from damage caused by frozen water.

These valves are made from high quality brass, which means they are strong and durable and will look great on your radiator or towel rail for years to come!
