Radiator Valves play a crucial role in your home's heating system. They regulate the flow of hot water into traditional central heating radiators, thereby controlling the heat output. They can be self-regulating or manually adjusted based on whether you choose to install a manual valves or a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV).

When you turn the central heating up, your boiler fires into action. It heats water which is then sent to the radiators around your home. The job of the radiator valves is to allow a certain amount of hot water into each radiator. So you could turn the radiator valves all the way down in rooms you’re not using so that the radiators don’t heat up.

Central heating motorised valves control water flow from the boiler to radiators and taps around your home. They are an essential component within any system and are usually found adjacent to the hot water cylinder in your boiler. Your thermostat sends an electric signal to the zone valve when the heating is switched on.
