Radiator valve straight ARCO TEIDE 1/2" F – angled connection not stated

Straight radiator valve ARCO TEIDE 1/2" F is designed for controlling flow to domestic radiators and central heating circuits. The compact straight body fits standard 1/2-inch female radiator connections and allows regulation and isolation of radiators for maintenance. It is intended for use in hot-water central heating systems where a reliable shut-off and flow control at the radiator inlet are required.

Advantages

The ARCO TEIDE straight valve provides compact installation dimensions and straightforward operation for radiator flow control. Its design enables secure connection to standard 1/2" female fittings and offers stable regulation without bulky components. The valve construction supports routine maintenance tasks by allowing isolation of a single radiator without draining the entire system.

Suitable for

• Domestic hot-water central heating radiators
• Replacement of existing 1/2" female radiator valves
• Individual radiator shutdown for maintenance or balancing
• Compact installations with limited clearance around the radiator inlet

Key specifications

• Connection type: straight valve for 1/2" female radiator fitting
• Application: hot-water central heating systems
• Function: flow regulation and isolation of radiator circuits
• Body orientation: straight inline connection
• Typical mounting position: radiator inlet

How to use

Install the ARCO TEIDE straight valve onto the radiator inlet with the 1/2" female thread, ensuring thread seals or tape are applied according to local plumbing practice. Tighten to an appropriate torque to avoid leaks while preventing damage to fittings. Use the valve spindle or handle to regulate flow to the radiator or to fully close the valve for radiator isolation. Verify leak tightness after filling and repressurising the system, and bleed the radiator to remove trapped air.

Usage recommendations

For durable performance, install the valve in systems operating within the manufacturer's recommended temperature and pressure ranges for domestic hot-water heating. When replacing existing valves, ensure thread compatibility and check sealing surfaces. Periodic checks for leakage and smooth operation are advised; if the valve stiffens or leaks, arrange service or replacement.
