You adjust it by hand to control the flow of water into the radiator. If you’re looking for automatic temperature control, consider a **thermostatic radiator valve (TRV)** instead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck out our full range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/plumbing-supplies\"\u003eplumbing supplies\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/valves\"\u003evalves\u003c\/a\u003e available online.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Evolve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50802408423766,"sku":"145328","price":3.21,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/evolve-lp-15mm-chrome-straight-wheel-head-valve-1750644.jpg?v=1772662216","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/evolve-lp-15mm-chrome-straight-wheel-head-valve","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
