    Swapping radiator valves between two rads

    In the linked photos you can see two radiators, one with a static valve and the other a TRV (with head removed). I need to swap the two valves. The third photo is the lock shield at the bottom of each rad. What are the correct steps to swap these two joints without hopefully having to flush an...

    Drayton Wiser smart trv's causing exit pipes on radiators to make noise

    Hi all, recently replaced all of our normal trvs to smart trvs, except one radiator to allow it to always flow if the others shut off. I am experiencing an issue on all radiators when one of the TRVs hits temp and closes the valve, there is a tapping noise on the exit pipe of that specific...

    How to fit Drayton Wiser smart TRVs on to old radiator valves?

    I moved into a new house and bought a Wiser Hub & smart TRVs, having use them before. I had the hub connected to the boiler but when I tried to fit the TRVs they don't fit to the existing valves- the metal ring nut is a mm or two too big. I contacted Wiser with photos who said they didn't know...

    Replacing lockshield on bathroom heat leak radiator

    Hi all, I need to replace a 3/4" union valve lockshield with a 1/2" on a bathroom heat leak radiator. Usually I bung the header tank, release pressure, and quickly swap the valves over. However, as its an old school heat leak setup I'm unsure if I need to adopt a different approach due to the...

    Trv's not working

    Hi all, I just moved into my home and realised that none of the TRVs in the home are working. I turn the valve but the temp isn't adjusting nor will the radiator turn off. I have a hive thermostat which is working fine. The rads do turn based on the timer. But the individual TRVs don't work...

    TRV Identification

    Hi all, One of my TRV heads has broken and I only want to replace the head and not the valve. After a quick google I think I will need to use the exact same head to ensure the calibration is correct. It is a Boss with no part number on it and it is quite old so I am hoping that someone can...

    Potential problem adding TRVs ?

    Hi... I am currently getting quotes to have my boiler replaced and have been informed that adding TRV's is now mandatory when replacing a boiler, but the engineer seemed to think he might have problems installing them because of how the radiators are fitted (pipes coming out of wall at an angle...

    Compatible TRV heads for ancient British Gas/Celsia TRVs

    Hello, I’m wondering if you clever people can help me track down some compatible TRV heads. I now have three that don’t work. The valves and pins work fine so I was optimistically hoping to be able to just replace the heads. They have British Gas or Celsia branding written on the top and I...

    noob question about how water flows through a rad!

    i've recently balanced my system and learned a bit about inlet/outlet flow, TRVs and lockshields, but something is still bugging me. assuming a system is well balanced, and you're using the TRVs on a towel rail, if you set the TRV to 1 (therefore limiting flow) does this mean that the top rung...

    Can I turn down the central heating temperature on combi boiler if I have TRVs?

    Hi, I've got a combi boiler. I was thinking of turning down the temperature of the heating on the boiler (i.e. on the boiler itself not the temperature on the thermostat). Reading up on this it sounds like setting this as low as possible is the best option in terms of reducing gas usage - to try...

    Looking for advice on setting up bypass radiators

    I was wondering what an efficient way of setting up bypass radiators is? I have 9 rads in total, including 2 bathroom towel radiators - the non-bathroom ones are all fitted with a Tado SRV. My boiler (Vitodens 100-W B1KF) will provide a min output of 3.2kw when heating. So I'm assuming a bypass...

Have I accidentally enabled...

    Can you group Hive TRV's together where there is more than one radiator in a room?

    Hi all, for a long time I have just had three Hive TRV's. One in my bedroom, one in my bathroom and one in the spare bedroom. I have just installed 6 more Hive TRV's for the remaining radiators in the house (except the main bathroom rad what intentionally does not have a TRV) and wanted to know...
