installation & orientation

• Fully matching colour brackets painted in the same finish as the radiator itself.
• Can be installed vertically or horizontally, offering flexibility based on your space requirements.
• We present this model both as a vertical and horizontal listing where the full gallery depicts the model both ways so you can fully visualise it. Follow the links in right hand menu to see this installed the other way round.
• Side or underside valve connections allow pipework and valves to be discreetly concealed, helping to preserve usable space.
• An internal diverter system forces the water up and over internally which ensures all bars get equally hot as the water is forced all over.

advice on which valves to purchase for piped installation (central heating)

• This radiator is not supplied with valves, as we have such a vast selection of styles & colours to choose from, we do not include them (like some other retailers) as we cannot make this choice on your behalf.
• However, we make choosing the correct valves very easy for you. With our years of experience, we know once homeowners have chosen their radiator the valve selection process can be a little daunting — and even the plumber won't make the best choice for you in terms of aesthetics. You need to do this yourself, as remember you are left looking at the installation once the plumber has gone - often we have spoken to homeowners who have been disappointed with how the poor valve choice or absence of pipes & covers have let down the look - don't let this be you.
• On the right-hand side of this page we have pre-filtered our vast selection of valves to show you only the optimal valves for this specific model — easy — you'll see two sections of valves:
  • 1. matching/complementary colour valve & pipe sets — these could be an exact match (as they are painted using the same paint as the radiators) or the closest complementary match (dependent on whether we list valves in the exact matching paint here on our site). Note: If you don't see an exact match but specifically want one, please contact us — we'll likely be able to special order these for you. These valves come complete with pipes and wall covers which will conceal the standard copper or plastic pipes of your central heating system for a much more professional looking finish.
  • 2. standard valve & pipe sets — these are more economical standard valves which are not painted using the same paints as the radiators, so will never match. We show the closest colour only. These are not sold as sets; if you'd like pipes/covers, these need to be purchased separately.
• which orientation of valves do I need : 3-Axis (corner), straight or angled?
  • 1. your central heating pipework comes through the wall — typically most modern pipework comes through the wall now and for this you'll need 3-axis corner valves. If your pipework is not yet in - our best advice is to ask your plumber to bring this through the wall.
  • 2. your central heating pipework comes through the floor — if you choose the underside entry option you'll need straight valves.
  • if you choose the side entry option you'll need angled valves.
• Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on radiator valves, giving even more information and tips.
