Before you order
- Check the pipe size, usually 15mm or 10mm microbore, and the radiator tapping, normally ½ inch BSP.
- For H block valves, check the pipe centres. Most are 50mm.
- Approved Document L expects room-by-room control, normally TRVs, when a boiler is replaced.
- Heating elements need a fused spur fitted by an electrician, and must only run with the rail filled.
Frequently asked questions
Can a TRV go on the flow or the return?
Most modern TRVs are bidirectional and can go on either. Check the listing; one-way valves must go on the flow.
Can a heating element go in any towel rail?
Only in a rail filled with water or fluid. For dual fuel, fit a T-piece so the rail can run on the boiler or the element.
Do smart TRVs need a hub?
Most do, to connect to Wi-Fi and the app. The listing says whether a hub is included or sold separately.
