No. There is no vacuum breaker, so your radiator will eventually fill with water. Use Danfoss instead, they use their own 'across the seat' integrated vacuum breaker. sent from my mobile device...
i have 4 off these valves installed never had no such problem.your steam pipes are pitched so gravity will allow water to run back tru the system regardless wether its open or not . the valve will open eventually when the room temp drops.
I have not experienced any problems with condensate return. My radiators cool enough for the valve to open and allow drainage before the wall thermostat kicks the boiler on again. Occasionally, you will hear one open and suck in air as the radiator cools.
Somewhere in the middle of the range of numbers on the dial will be your comfort zone. You will just have to experiment a bit. I eventually marked all of mine with a sharpie at the 70 degree spot for each particular room. With the thermostatic control being so close to the radiator, and the potential radiator size being almost infinite, as well as the possible room size, any markings in degrees would be inaccurate. There are other optional remote mounted thermostatic controls that can be used with these valves which resemble a traditional wall mounted thermostat that are marked in degrees. Some even are digital thermostats that can be programmed. They are obviously much more costly and more complicated to install. Using the simple dial controls has worked great for me. I have them in almost every room. I have eliminated hot/cold spots and ended up cutting my gas bill down enough to pay for all of them in the first winter. Good luck!!
This is just the valve. You have to order the thermostat separately. Be aware that this unit does NOT have an integrated vacuum breaker which can be problematic on one pipe systems. If you require a vacuum breaker, check out the Danfoss units. sent from my mobile device...
no its just a reference # that you adjust to your comfort level like high & low except with 4 different comfort levels. you have to figure it yourself with a thermometer to see roughly where it shuts off
There's no direct correlation to degrees. You need to set the valve to a number and see what you like. There is sometimes a faint clicking in the know as you turn it so you can tell at which number the current temp of your room lines up. Sent from my phone. Please excuse any typos.
Yes, you would need parts T100M2056 and V2043HSL10. Part V2043HSL10 includes an air vent, but V2042HSL10 does not.
Please refer to page 4 of the following Product Specifications: http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1318597345915/66280_PROD_FILE.pdf
The thermostat (control knob) needs to be purchased separately. Please contact our customer service representatives since this is a special order item.
You have to buy that piece separately. You have two options from Honeywell the type that you can lock to prevent tampering or the one I got - the T100M2056
