FAQs
How do I adjust the temperature?
Rotate the numbered dial on the TRV head to the desired temperature setting. The numbers usually correspond to a temperature range.
What if the radiator is not getting hot?
Make sure the TRV head is set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature. Check that the valve is not blocked by debris. Bleed the radiator to remove air.
How often should I bleed my radiators?
It's a good idea to bleed your radiators at the start of the heating season and whenever you notice cold spots at the top of the radiator.
Can I install this valve myself?
While the installation is straightforward, it involves plumbing. If you are not comfortable working with plumbing, it is recommended to consult a qualified professional.
What is the purpose of the anti-chatter cartridge?
The anti-chatter cartridge is designed to prevent noise and ensure smooth operation of the valve, reducing unwanted sounds from your heating system.
How do I know if the valve is working properly?
The radiator should heat up when the valve is set to a higher temperature than the room. The room temperature should stabilize at the set value. Check the radiator for even heating.
What is the warranty period?
The warranty period for this product is two years.
Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating up
Check if the valve is set to the desired temperature. Ensure the valve is fully open. Check for airlocks in the radiator by bleeding it.
Valve is noisy
This may be due to air in the system or the valve not being fully open. Bleed the radiator. If the noise persists, check for any obstructions in the valve.
Leakage at the valve connections
Tighten the connections. If the leakage continues, replace any damaged seals or fittings.
