Comap connection kit VKO straight module with nipples and W5 thermostatic head (model 960W5)

The Comap connection kit VKO straight module with nipples and W5 thermostatic head (model 960W5) is a factory-configured assembly intended for hydronic heating circuits. It combines a straight VKO connection module with integrated nipples and a W5 thermostatic head to enable direct mechanical connection of a radiator or convector to the pipework while providing adjustable temperature control at the unit. The kit is suitable for both replacement of existing valve assemblies and installation in new heating systems where a straight-line connection and local thermostatic regulation are required.

Advantages

This connection kit integrates a robust straight VKO module with factory-fitted nipples and a W5 thermostatic head to simplify installation and commissioning. The modular design reduces the number of separate components needed, shortens on-site assembly time and ensures consistent fit and alignment with standard radiator connections. The included thermostatic head allows temperature regulation directly at the appliance, enabling automatic control of flow based on room temperature without additional actuators.

Suitable for

• Connecting panel radiators and convectors to hydronic heating pipework
• Replacement of worn or outdated radiator valve assemblies
• New installations requiring a straight-line connection module with manual thermostatic control
• Domestic and light commercial heating systems with compatible VKO fittings

Key specifications

• Straight VKO connection module with integrated nipples for direct radiator attachment
• W5 thermostatic head with manual temperature setting for local regulation
• Designed for mechanical connection to standard radiator valve ports and convector bodies
• Materials selected for corrosion resistance and long-term operation in hydronic systems
• Compact assembly that reduces on-site fitting time

How to use

Install the VKO module inline with the heating circuit using appropriate pipe fittings and sealing methods. Fasten the nipples to the radiator or convector ports ensuring correct alignment and torque according to the radiator manufacturer's recommendations. Mount the W5 thermostatic head onto the valve spindle and set the desired temperature position. After installation, purge air from the radiator and system, then check for leaks and verify that the thermostatic head modulates flow correctly as the room temperature changes.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use with compatible radiator connections and verify material compatibility with your heating medium. During installation, follow standard plumbing practices: isolate the circuit, drain or depressurize as needed, tighten connections to specified torque values, and perform a full system flush and air purge. Regularly check the thermostatic head for free movement and inspect seals for wear; replace components if leakage or mechanical binding occurs.
