Radiator Valves

Radiator valves may be small, but they’re crucial in keeping your bathroom heating system working properly. They control the flow of hot water in and out of the radiator, which regulates its temperature. For precise control, our thermostatic options automatically adjust based on the room’s temperature, ensuring consistent warmth and energy efficiency. To help you match your valves to your existing fixtures, we stock various colours and finishes, from luxurious brushed brass to polished chrome. Or choose black valves for a bold touch that works perfectly with black radiators and heated towel rails. Our angled radiator valves are ideal for tight spaces, or if you’re looking for a more traditional look, stick with classic straight radiator valves. Shop radiator valves online today.

FAQs

How do thermostatic radiator valves work?

Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) automatically regulate the temperature of a radiator using a thermostat. When the room reaches the desired temperature, the valve adjusts the flow of hot water to the radiator, making sure that the temperature remains consistent without using unnecessary energy. This gives you better control over your heating and is also much easier to use, as the valve does the work for you rather than having to manually adjust the dial.

What types of radiator valves are available at Wholesale Domestic?

The type of valve you need depends on your radiator’s installation. We stock various types at Wholesale Domestic, including:

  • Straight valves – These are the most common and are ideal for installations where the pipes come straight up from the floor.
  • Angled valves – These valves are typically used when the pipes come from the wall or floor at an angle. They’re used to connect the radiator to the plumbing seamlessly without needing to rearrange the pipework.
  • Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) – This valve type provides precise temperature control automatically and is recommended for better energy efficiency.
  • Manual valves – A classic valve that offers simpler options to manually adjust the radiator’s flow without automatic temperature regulation.
  • Lockshield valves – An essential part of any modern radiator, controlling the amount of water that flows through the radiator to balance the heating system.
  • Bleed valves – A vital valve that is fitted to the top left or right of the radiator unit, allowing you to release any trapped air in the system to prevent cold spots.
