Evolve 10mm Straight Wheel Head Valve

The Evolve 10mm Straight Wheel Head Radiator Valve offers a practical, budget-friendly solution for managing your radiator's water flow. Designed as part of Evolve’s trusted Contract range, this valve is perfect for domestic heating systems where simplicity and reliability matter most. Its straight configuration makes it especially suitable for pipework that runs horizontally along walls or through floorboards. Whether you're renovating an older heating system or installing new radiators with microbore pipes, this valve gives you a durable, straightforward method to control your heating output.

Built for Long-Term Use

Crafted with durability in mind, the main components of this valve—the body, tailpiece, and union nut—are made from chrome-plated brass, providing both strength and corrosion resistance. The internal brass valve insert, fitted with EPDM rubber seats, ensures a reliable seal and smooth operation, helping to prevent leaks over time. For easy manual operation, the wheel handle and lockshield cap are made from durable ABS plastic, offering a comfortable grip and modern finish. It’s a robust valve built to withstand the pressures and temperatures of everyday heating use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this valve compatible with all radiator types?

Yes, as long as your radiator accepts a 10mm pipe connection, this straight valve will work. It’s especially suited to systems using microbore pipework.

What’s the difference between straight and angled radiator valves?

A straight valve is best for pipework coming horizontally into the radiator from the wall or running along the floor. An angled valve is used when the pipe comes up from the floor or down from the wall at an angle.

Is this valve thermostatic?

No, this is a manual wheel head valve. It allows you to manually adjust water flow into the radiator, but it does not automatically control the room temperature like a thermostatic valve would.
