User Manual

TRVs sense the air temperature around them and

regulate the ﬂow of water through the radiator which

they are ﬁtted to. They do not control the boiler.

TRVs need a free ﬂow of air to

sense the temperature, so they

must not be covered by curtains

or blocked by furniture.

They should be set at a level that gives you the room

temperature you want. These settings may have to be

different in each room, and you should set the TRVs to

suit each room and then leave them to do their job.

TRVs cannot turn off the boiler when the whole house

is warm. To do that, you will need a room thermostat as

well. The radiator in the room with the room thermostat

should normally have a TRV, but, if it does, keep the

TRV on the maximum setting and adjust the room

thermostat as explained with the instructions.

Turning a TRV to a higher setting will not make the room

heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up

depends on the boiler size and setting, and the radiator

size. Turning the TRV to a lower setting will result in the

Installation options

Valve installation

Remove protective cap and connect ﬁttings to radiator and hot water source as shown below. If necessary, cut

supplied copper tubes to an entry depth of 10 mm into the TRV to ensure a secure connection.

radiator valve (TRV)

Lockshield valve

(optional)

The TRV can be installed on either side

of the radiator, in a vertical or horizontal

position, as shown at left.

Cap

If a lockshield valve is also used on the

same radiator, install it on the opposite

side of the radiator, as shown.

hot water ﬂow to radiator and allow it to cool before installation.

Sensor installation

Temperature control

Check all ﬁttings to make sure connections are secure before installing the thermostat sensor. Center the sensor

over the radiator valve, push down and screw ﬁrmly into place as shown below.

Turn the sensor to control temperature at each radiator ﬁtted with a TRV. Settings are marked with numbers rather

than temperatures, because heating systems vary. An approximate guide follows, below. You may have to adjust

the sensor for a day or two, to get the proper setting for the temperature you prefer.

After installation, set the sensor to an appropriate temperature level, then turn on the boiler or open valves as

needed to resume hot water ﬂow to the radiator. Watch carefully to check for leaks. If leaks occur, stop hot water

ﬂow to the radiator immediately and check all ﬁttings.

NOTE: To ensure accurate temperature control, make sure the TRV is exposed to a free ﬂow of

room air, and is not blocked by draperies or furniture.

NOTE: Temperatures listed above are estimates based on typical performance after vertical mounting.

Temperatures may vary by 1° to 2° C if the TRV is installed in other positions.
