Temperature Regulating Valves (TRV's) when fitted to your radiators will allow independent room by room temperature control. This will help you to reduce energy consumption, resulting in lower energy bills.

Safety Precautions
- Avoid contact with any central heating water in case of chemical irritation.
- It is advised to wear gloves and eye protection when working on the central heating system. ? ?
- If a blowtorch is used for any adjacent works, do not allow it to heat up the TRV body as it could result in damage and invalidate your guarantee.
Installation Guide
Site the TRV where there is good air circulation and it is not exposed to direct sunlight or behind curtains or doors. If known, install valve on the supply pipe. Our valves are Bi-directional so can be placed on the supply or return lines. Ensure central heating system is free of debris before fitting the valve.
Before starting works, turn off the related central heating system/boiler, allowed to cool and then drain down the central heating system. Ensure the area is clean and you have a method of catching and mopping up any remaining system water. ?
An automatic differential by-pass valve must be fitted to the system when TRVs are being installed.
- Step 1: Screw the manual closing cap to the top of the valve and close the valve fully. Do not overtighten.
- Step 2: Remove the radiator tail piece from the valve ensuring the nut and olive remain in place.
- Step 3: Wrap approximately 8-10 turns of PTFE tape tightly around the male thread of the tail piece. The PTFE must be applied in the same direction as if you were connecting a nut to the thread so that it doesn't unravel when fitting to the radiator. ?
- Step 4: Screw the tail piece into the radiator panel and secure using a spanner. ?
- Step 5: Slide the nut and olive onto the tail piece and connect the valve body in the desired position. Only hand tighten the nut at this stage, as it will need to be removed on step 7.
- Step 6: Measure, mark and cut the pipework. Remember that the pipe will need to be inserted into the compression end of the radiator valve up to the pipe stop, so always ensure that enough pipe is remaining before cutting.
- Step 7: Remove valve body from the tail piece, then slide the pipe side nut and olive onto the supply pipework. Fully tighten using a spanner. Do not overtighten.
- Step 8: Reconnect the valve body to the tail piece and tighten the nut with a spanner. Do not overtighten.
- Step 9: Refill the system, bleed radiator and check for leaks. Further minimal tightening will stop any that appear.
- Step 10: Turn control head to fully open (position 5), remove manual closing cap from the valve and attach control head by tightening the knurled securing ring by hand. Do not overtighten or use grips.
Note: If your kit includes a lockshield valve, follow installation steps 2 - 9 to aid in the installation.
Operating Instructions
Setting the temperature
Calibration marks on the control head correspond to the temperatures in Table 1. To set the temperature, select the desired room temperature from the table and turn the control head to align the appropriate number with the fixed pointer. Allow at least an hour for the room temperature to stabilise.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 MAX | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frost protection at 7°C | 12°C | 16°C | 20°C | 24°C | 28°C |
Table 1
Frost protection
Where heating is not required but there is a risk of freezing, turn the control head to the frost protection setting (*) which will allow the valve to open if the temperature falls below 7°C. Ensure the boiler is operational.
Summer operation
In the summer months, when the heating system is turned off for a considerable period, set the control head to the fully open position.
