The
Evolve Contract 15mm Straight Chrome/White Thermostatic Radiator Valve (TRV) offers an efficient and reliable way to control room temperature in central heating systems. Part of Evolve’s practical and value-driven Contract range, this straight TRV helps optimise heating performance while maintaining a comfortable living environment.
This valve allows you to set a desired room temperature, and it automatically adjusts the flow of hot water into the radiator based on that setting. As the room reaches your preferred temperature, the valve reduces the water flow, helping to prevent overheating. This not only maintains consistent comfort but also reduces unnecessary energy consumption—an ideal choice for those looking to improve energy efficiency at home or in commercial settings.
With its chrome and white finish, the valve blends neatly into modern interiors, while its straight design makes it perfect for installations where pipework runs vertically up to the radiator.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a straight and angled TRV?
A straight TRV is designed for pipework that enters the radiator from directly below or above, running in a straight line. An angled TRV, on the other hand, is used when the pipework enters from the wall or at a 90-degree angle.
Is this TRV suitable for combi boiler systems?
Yes, it is compatible with most sealed central heating systems, including those connected to combi boilers. Just ensure that your system pressure and temperature are within the TRV’s limits.
How does the frost setting work?
The frost protection feature is automatically triggered when the room temperature drops to around 7°C. This keeps a small amount of water flowing through the radiator, helping prevent frozen pipes in colder conditions.
