The
Evolve 15mm Angled Wheel Head Valve is a practical and dependable manual radiator valve designed for straightforward control of hot water flow in domestic heating systems. As part of Evolve’s everyday Contract range, this valve is ideal for budget-conscious users who still want reliable performance and durable construction.
This angled radiator valve is typically installed at the bottom of a radiator, where the pipework enters at a 90-degree angle. It allows for manual adjustment of water flow into the radiator, letting you turn the radiator on or off as needed. It's a popular choice for secondary radiators or where thermostatic control isn't required.
Each valve comes complete with a matching lockshield cap, which can be used to balance the system if needed. The sleek chrome finish complements modern interiors while offering excellent resistance to corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this valve suitable for all types of radiators?
Yes, this 15mm angled wheel head valve is compatible with most radiators using standard 15mm pipework. Just ensure your radiator accepts angled valves.
Can I use this valve to control the temperature of the radiator?
This is a manual valve, so you can open or close it to control water flow, but it doesn’t automatically adjust like a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV). It's ideal for simple on/off control or balancing.
What’s the difference between this and a TRV?
Unlike TRVs, which automatically adjust flow based on room temperature, this wheel head valve requires manual operation. It’s a good choice for radiators in less-used rooms or where fixed control is preferred.
