Thermostatic Radiator Valve Basic C093100701, straight 1/2" brass

The Basic thermostatic radiator valve C093100701 is a straight, brass valve with a 1/2" connection designed to control water flow to radiators when used with a compatible thermostatic head. Intended for central heating systems, this valve provides a corrosion-resistant brass body and a straightforward straight-line connection suitable for new installations and replacement projects. It serves as the mechanical interface between the radiator and the thermostatic control element to regulate room temperature by adjusting radiator flow.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures durability and resistance to corrosion in typical heating system conditions. The straight design with a 1/2" thread simplifies installation in tight or linear pipe runs and is compatible with a wide range of radiator fittings. The valve delivers reliable flow control when paired with a thermostatic head, allowing precise temperature regulation and energy-efficient operation of the heating system.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial central heating radiators
• Replacement of existing straight radiator valves with 1/2" connections
• New radiator installations requiring a durable brass valve body
• Applications where thermostatic regulation of room temperature is needed

Key specifications

• Connection type: straight, 1/2" threaded inlet/outlet
• Material: brass valve body for corrosion resistance
• Function: thermostatic valve body for use with a thermostatic head
• Compatibility: standard radiator fittings and thermostatic heads designed for 1/2" straight valves
• Typical use: hot water central heating systems

How to use

Install the valve in-line with the radiator inlet or outlet using the 1/2" threaded connection, ensuring proper sealing with suitable tape or jointing compound where required. Attach a compatible thermostatic head to the valve spindle according to the head manufacturer's instructions. After installation, bleed the radiator to remove trapped air and check for leaks. Adjust the thermostatic head to the desired room temperature; the valve will modulate flow to the radiator in response to the head's temperature sensor.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the valve with thermostatic heads recommended for straight 1/2" fittings and ensure the heating system is flushed and free of debris prior to installation. Periodically inspect for signs of leakage or corrosion and follow standard maintenance procedures for central heating components.
