When to Use Straight Valves
Straight radiator valves are used when your central heating pipes enter the room from the wall and run directly in line with the radiator inlet/outlet tails. This is common in modern installations where pipes are concealed within walls or run along skirting boards. If your pipes come up from the floor, you would typically need angled valves instead.
Installation & Compatibility
These valves connect to 15mm copper or plastic barrier pipe using compression fittings (included) and screw directly onto radiator tails with 1/2" BSPT threads. Compatible with all standard UK radiators including panel radiators, column radiators, designer radiators, and towel rails. Professional installation recommended, though suitable for competent DIY with basic plumbing knowledge.
Applications
Perfect for new radiator installations, radiator replacements, central heating upgrades, bathroom renovations, kitchen refits, and commercial heating projects. Ideal for residential homes, rental properties, offices, hotels, and care facilities.
Maintenance & Care
Once installed, these valves require minimal maintenance. Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Check compression fittings annually for any signs of weeping and tighten if necessary. Do not overtighten during installation as this may damage the olive seal.
