Radiator Valve Diagram. The purpose of the lockshield valve is to help regulate the heat output of the radiator itself and to allow for a heating engineer to balance the radiators so that all the radiators in the heating system output heat at around the same rate. Operating over a temperature range of 10c to 27c it has a range limiting feature which allows.
The illustration above shows two branches each feeding two radiators. The valve gradually closes as the temperature of the surrounding area increases limiting the amount of hot water entering the radiator. All drayton thermostatic radiator valves are manufactured in factories assessed and certiļ¬ed to bs en iso9001.
Operating over a temperature range of 10c to 27c it has a range limiting feature which allows.
Expansion as the room heats blocks the. In simple terms it is a valve that can be set by the homeowner to turn on and. Thermostatic radiator valves trv these work in a similar way to the room thermostat the trv senses air temperature around them and turns the radiator on or off and regulates the flow of water through the radiator they are fitted to. This fine tuning allows you to balance the heating system so that radiators get the right amount of heat for the rooms they serve.
