trv

Hi, Hoping someone can help as I have looked everywhere without success. My setup... I have a fairly new NEST setup that controls hot water and central heating from a Valliant ECOtek plus. I have a megaflow in the loft (probably not relevant). All radiators are on a single circuit. What I'm...

Hi all All of my TRVs are very old looking and don’t seem to work properly, the temp is either hot or cold despite what number the TRV is set to. My original plan was to replace all of the TRVs but my understanding is that for the hassle of changing them all I might as well replace the rads as...

Hi there, I have a radiator that was not properly fixed to the wall and is falling away. It is a cast iron, but not too tall. It has HB Signature Thermostatic TRV valve and lockend. I turned the TRV down to the frost symbol and using a screwdriver, turned off the lockend (assuming that a...

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible! Basically the timer has died on my Ecotec plus 831 combi and rather than just replace it with similar I was thinking now maybe the time to go smart and get something that can help my heating system run more economically as we’re off grid so run off...

Hi, We are getting a new Ideal Boiler (not combi) fitted into a 3 storey town house. It has a 2 zone system - split for downstairs / 2 upper floors. We have bought 2 Nest thermostats, one for each zone. In the downstairs zone all but the cloakroom rad have existing Myson TRVs. As part of the...

What is fully trv system and does it have room thermostat in circuit?

We have just moved into a new house (not new build just new to us) and the heating system seems a mess, or we just are not using it correctly. There is an Ideal Logic+ boiler providing central heating and hot water via a tank. All the downstairs radiators apart from the hall have TRVs on and...

Hello. I have fitted smart TRVs to nearly all my rads. However, when only 1 or 2 rads calling for heat then system noise is quite loud. I've been advised bypass valve will sort out noise and avoid me having to leave one rad without a TRV. The easiest place for me to access is directly above...

I have a faulty TRV. When the pin is fully open, it's fine. But I notice it leaks when the pin is depressed and the TRV is off. I've tried giving it a tap, wiggle, and some WD40. I'm looking to replace the TRV and re-use the nut/olive - so I can swap the TRV over without having to cut any pipe...

I'm planning to replace all my old and broken TRVs, 5 in total. I then wondered if I should be replacing my radiators? See the photo, these must be 20 years old I imagine, are there more efficient ones these days? If so, any reccomendations? Advice would be great thanks

I have a bunch of Hive TRVs and am going to buy a few column rads. While on lockdown it appears Screwfix are no longer throwing free TRV and lockshields at people so I need to buy them separately. Quick question, as I have a funky TRV already, will a cheaper lockshield/TRV set from screwfix be...

Hi I have very old Danfoss TRV's on all my radiators but a couple had the head missing and the others are very tatty and old. I found replacement heads for £20 each. But it seems you can buy the whole valve with head for a similar price. Should I just replace all the valves? They must be over...

I’m having trouble removing a pretty old trv (picture attached). It just turns continuously making me think something’s broken underneath. Can I just snap it off?!

Hi, I have a Reglo TRV head that has failed. Searched online, but cannot find a replacement (or mention of the company). The radiators upstairs are all Reglo, and were newly installed around 8 years ago. I've never head of Reglo, but any suitable replacement heads please, otherwise it's a...

I've got an existing Single radiator in a reasonably large bedroom that is 740mm wide and 620mm high. It doesn't really put out enough heat and is on an external wall. It has a TRV right side and normal valve left. Pipe centres are 820mm. I want to replace it with a double and plan to reuse...

Just added some Hive TRV valves to my Hive system the other day, and noticed I could not control them from the Hive website at https://my.hivehome.com/ like I could with the mobile app. Below is what I get: Clicking on a TRV... Hive-TRV-Dashboard by eveares posted 18 Sep 2019 at 10:31 PM...

Hello, I am desperately trying to save an original chrome towel radiator that is nearly 60 years old and been in our family for almost that long. I am looking for an angled radiator valve - 1” male fitting into the radiator and 0.75” (but 0.5” would do) female connection into the pipes. Or an...

Hello, I'm in the process of trying to find a replacement trv head for a radiator in a flat which is part of a district heating scheme. All the other radiators are connected by 15mm pipe and are m30 fittings, but this one is on 22mm pipe and an m30 fitting is too small. I can't be the only...

Fitted my first trv yesterday using a freezer kit and no leaks overnight! I didn't fit the head though as didn't want to damage it as still got wallpaper to strip behind where the rad was. I can't take the temporary cap off because I have to turn it on to release it. Can I wait until the new rad...

Hi All, (Apologies, my plumbing skills/terminology need much improvement) I recently found a leak on the joint of a TRV valve coming from one of my radiators, it seemed to be where the pipe enters the valve (see image and imagine the silver pieces of the valve are bone dry). I had someone...
