Radiator Valves

"When you buy a radiator you need radiator valves. Each radiator requires 2 rad valves. These can also be called lockshields. There are a range of different types of rad valves that you can choose from based on looks. If you want to control the heat of the radiator, a thermostatic radiator valves slows down the flow of hot water into the rad. What this does, is give you control of the temperature of each individual radiator. You only need one thermostatic radiator valve for each radiator the other side can be a normal radiator valve (lock shield). Angled radiator valves are when the pipes come from out the wall as opposed to the ground. (most come from the ground) If you want to control the temperature of each individual radiator you need; 1 X thermostatic rad valve 1 X radiator valve (lockshield) If you don't need to control the temperature of the radiator individually and happy having them at the same heat throughout the house you need; 2 X Radiator valves"
