Angled Valves

ANGLED VALVE FAQs

WHAT IS AN ANGLED VALVE?

An angled valve is a valve with pipework in a right angle configuration, with the side connection meeting your radiator and the pipework connection at right angle pointing down.

WHAT RADIATORS ARE ANGLED VALVES USED FOR?

If your pipework exits up from the floor and your new radiator has side connections on opposite ends of your radiator, you can use Angled Valves. If your pipework exits from the wall but travels up toward the radiator, you can use Angled Valves. If your radiator has pipework underneath, you can also use Angled Valves, but they will stick out and possibly be a trip hazard!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BTWEEN A MANUAL ANGLED VALVE AND A THERMOSTATIC ANGLED VALVE?

A manual Angled Valve is a simple on/off valve. Radiators with manual valves will turn on with your central heating and turn off when it goes off. Thermostatic valves allow you to control the flow of water into your radiator, turning the valve from 1 to 5, thus allowing you to control the temperature of your radiator.
