How to Use
-
Prepare Pipework:
Ensure pipes (8mm, 10mm, or 15mm) are clean, cut squarely, and free of burrs for a secure fit. -
Select Reducer:
Choose the appropriate reducer sleeve (if using 8mm or 10mm pipes) and slide it onto the pipe before fitting the valve. -
Fit Valve:
Connect the valve using the 15mm compression fitting or the reducer with compression fittings for smaller pipes. Tighten compression nuts securely but avoid overtightening. -
Attach to Radiator:
Screw the valve’s 1/2″ BSP threaded tail onto the radiator inlet, ensuring a snug, leak-proof connection. -
Adjust Temperature:
Use the thermostatic control knob to set the desired room temperature. The valve will regulate flow automatically. -
Test System:
Turn on the heating system and check for leaks and proper valve operation. Adjust if necessary.
Care and Maintenance
-
Regular Operation:
Rotate the thermostatic knob periodically during the heating season to prevent sticking and ensure responsiveness. -
Leak Checks:
Inspect compression fittings and radiator connection for signs of leaks and tighten gently if needed. -
Cleaning:
Wipe the valve body with a damp cloth to keep it clean and free from dust buildup. -
Storage:
When not installed, store the valve in its original packaging in a dry, cool environment to maintain seals and prevent corrosion.
