Frequently Asked Questions
Are these valves compatible with all radiator types?
These 15mm straight wheel head valves are suitable for most radiators with horizontal pipe connections. They work especially well with traditional cast iron or column radiators due to their classic styling.
What’s the advantage of a cross head handle?
Cross head handles are designed for easy manual operation. They offer better grip and control, particularly for users who prefer a more tactile feel or have limited hand strength.
Can these valves be used with a thermostatic system?
These are manual valves and do not regulate temperature automatically. If you need self-regulating temperature control, consider installing a **thermostatic radiator valve (TRV)** instead.
