4. Installation Guide

4.1. General Installation Notes

• Ensure all components are present and undamaged before beginning installation.
• Installation should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local plumbing and heating regulations.
• Before starting, turn off the main heating system and drain the radiator or towel dryer to be fitted.
• Always use appropriate tools and safety equipment.

4.2. Connecting the Valve Set

The FlexoDesign valve set is designed for connection to copper, mild steel, stainless steel, PEX, or multi-layer tubes. It utilizes 3/4" Eurocone connections for which corresponding clamping fittings (not included) must be used to ensure secure and leak-free connections.

The valve set's convertible design allows it to be configured as either a straight or angled valve. Its reversible inlet/outlet feature provides flexibility for pipe routing, whether pipes come from the floor or the wall. The valve can be installed on either the right or left side of the radiator or towel dryer.

1. Prepare the radiator connections by ensuring they are clean and free of debris.
2. Attach the appropriate 3/4" Eurocone clamping fittings to your pipework.
3. Connect the valve set to the radiator and the pipework, ensuring all connections are tightened securely to prevent leaks.
4. Mount the thermostatic head onto the valve body.
5. Once installed, slowly refill the heating system and check for any leaks.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Thermostatic Control

The thermostatic head allows you to set the desired room temperature. Rotate the head to align the desired setting with the indicator mark on the valve body. The markings (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4) typically correspond to increasing temperature levels.

• Setting '0' or '*': Frost protection setting, maintaining a minimum temperature to prevent freezing.
• Settings 1-5 (or similar): Correspond to a range of temperatures, with higher numbers indicating warmer settings. Refer to your heating system's guidelines for specific temperature correlations.

The pre-set Kv value within the valve ensures optimal flow regulation, contributing to efficient and consistent heating performance.

6. Maintenance

6.1. General Care

• Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the valve set with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all connections for any signs of leaks. Address any leaks immediately by tightening connections or seeking professional assistance.
• Thermostatic Head: Ensure the thermostatic head can rotate freely. If it feels stiff, gently rotate it through its full range of motion a few times.

No specific user maintenance is required for the internal components of the valve. For any internal issues or complex repairs, it is recommended to consult a qualified heating technician.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1. Common Issues and Solutions

• No Heat or Insufficient Heat from Radiator:
  • Ensure the thermostatic head is set to a sufficiently high temperature.
  • Verify that the main heating system is operational and supplying hot water.
  • Check if the radiator needs bleeding to release trapped air.
  • Confirm proper flow through the valve.
• Leaks Around Connections:
  • Carefully tighten the connections using appropriate tools. Do not overtighten.
  • If leaks persist, the sealing washers or fittings may need replacement. Professional assistance is recommended.
• Stuck Thermostatic Head:
  • Gently try to rotate the head through its full range of motion.
  • If it remains stuck, the internal pin may be jammed. This often requires professional intervention or replacement of the thermostatic head.

For any persistent problems or issues not covered here, contact a qualified heating technician or Comap customer support.
