Radiator Valves

A Radiator Valve sends hot water to a radiator or hot water cylinder, depending on which calls for heat. Without a radiator valve, steam trap, or steam angle, a system will likely fail. The three factors to consider when choosing one are size, body pattern (angle or straight), and control type (thermostatic or manual). These valves allow for precise temperature control in both residential and commercial settings and help make any space a little more comfortable.

More About Radiator Valves
BOE Connections
Most conventional radiators have Bottom Opposite End connections (BOE). This means the connections are at the bottom of the radiator and are horizontal, requiring the use of angle body valves. If the connections come upwards from the floor, straight valves are required. Manual and thermostatic radiator valves can have angle or straight body patterns.

Thermostatic Radiator Valves
A Thermostatic Radiator Valve (TRV) automatically controls room temperature by regulating hot water flow to the radiator. Thermostatic radiator valves are self-regulating radiators which can work in conjunction with temperature controls, pressure controls, and time set-back devices to allow an entirely self-contained process. They are available in one pipe and two pipe configurations. A one pipe thermostatic radiator valve is used in low air capacity applications, while a two-pipe valve is used in high air capacity applications.

Radiator Steam Traps
Radiator Steam Traps are designed to remove condensate, air, and non-condensable gases from steam systems while not permitting the escape of steam. Radiator steam traps allow steam to enter the radiator and then close to trap the steam inside. This process helps keep systems running efficiently as possible while keeping water out.

Manual Radiator Valve
Manual radiator valves are straightforward in design and function, providing basic control over the heating system. Although they need to be adjusted manually, these valves are cost-effective and perfect for systems that don’t need to be adjusted very often.

Pneumatic Radiator Valves
Pneumatic radiator valves rely on air pressure, making them suitable for larger, commercial heating systems where remote or automated control is needed. These valves offer very precise flow and temperature control.

Radiator Valve Tools
We carry wrenches, spanners, and bleed keys, specifically designed for working with any kind of radiator valve you might encounter during regular maintenance. These tools come in handy when checking for leaks, troubleshooting, and replacing valves when necessary.
