Radiator valves are what you see at the bottom of a radiator – they will have a twisting mechanism on top. They allow you to control how much heat you want your radiator to give out, just like a tap controls the flow of water. Our plumbers offer radiator valve maintenance, repair, and replacement.

Radiator valves and towel radiator valves come in a huge range of types and sizes depending on your requirements. Designed to help control the heat output.

Each radiator ‘sits’ upon the pipe with both radiator connections made to the same pipe. As the heated water from the boiler is fed along the pipe, natural convection (hot water rises) causes the heated water to rise into the radiator displacing cooler water back into the pipe.

Radiator Valves help control the amount of hot water that enters and leaves the radiator.

By controlling the flow of water, heat from the radiator is regulated.

The supply of heat into the radiator is automatically controlled with respect to the temperature of the room. When the room reaches the desired temperature, the valve closes and the radiator stops heating. The room then cools, the valve opens and the radiator begins to heat again.
