Drayton TRVs are manufactured in our UK factory are a rigorously tested to ensure reliability and quality. Britain’s best-loved TRV4 range now includes the Anthracite model to complement the growing popularity of anthracite radiators. Another consideration is to not fit thermostatic radiator valves in the same room as your principal thermostat. This unit connects directly to your boiler and so you will inadvertently create a competition between your TRV and central thermostat. In this monumental battle, the only loser is the homeowner! If a thermostatic radiator valve stops working when turned off, the radiator will not switch on and can cause condensation, mould, frost damage and other cold-based issues. And if your TRV breaks when on, it will pump endless hot water through your radiator and cause serious overheating. Thermostatic radiator valves show their economic potential by enabling you to save money and fuel while enjoying a comfortably heated home. Potential Thermostatic Radiator Valve Issues Absolutely! In a property with multiple radiators heating rooms of varying traffic, thermostatic radiator valves are a no-brainer! Heat where you want, no wastage where you don’t.

Tap the button below your Hive Radiator Valve’s screen once to wake it up. If the screen shows a temperature, press the button for 3 seconds. The valve will vibrate and show an M on the screen. If your radiators have TRVs, fitting a Hive Radiator Valve is easy – and there’ll be no need to drain your radiator so long as you already have a compatible valve attached. Nowadays most radiators have TRVs (thermostatic radiator valves). If the valve on your radiator has a numeric dial (eg 1-5), it’s a TRV. In busier rooms like your lounge – heated more by your family’s movements, appliances and even the sun shining through the windows – the TRV can be set at a lower temperature. Your TRV will restrict water flow as the right heat is reached, and you will avoid overheating your home’s areas that are naturally hottest. Around 70% of UK homes do not have the minimum level of controls meaning that thousands of people are missing out on the cost savings they can bring. You can do this if you’re getting a smart replacement, such as a Hive Radiator Valve, or only replacing one valve. It’s simple, just unscrew the existing valve and replace it with the Hive one. Is it easy to fit a thermostat on a radiator?

What are smart radiator valves Developed from Drayton’s iconic TRV4 design, this chrome thermostatic radiator valve has been designed specifically for UK domestic applications, making it suitable and attractive for homeowners.

Drain the system and let the air out. Bleed your radiators and once you’re done, you can remove the old valve If your valve ​does​ have a screw thread, use the adaptor guide included in the box to help identify the right adaptor.If your radiators are older they might have basic manual controls (usually marked “on / off” or “+ / -”) instead of TRVs. If your radiators don’t have TRVs, installation is a bit more complicated. You will need to replace your existing valves with thermostatic valve bodies before you can install Hive Radiator Valves. A heating professional – or someone confident in fitting and plumbing a radiator – will be able to assess what’s best for your home.
