Angled radiator valve FERRO ZG5Y 1/2" — thermostatic connection for heating radiators

Angled radiator valve FERRO ZG5Y 1/2" is a thermostatic connection valve designed for linking heating radiators to central heating pipework where a 90° turn is required. The valve provides a compact and stable connection between the radiator outlet and the supply or return pipe, enabling flow control and isolation of individual radiator units in residential and commercial heating installations.

Advantages

The FERRO angled valve offers a compact corner design that saves installation space and simplifies alignment between radiator and piping. Its thermostatic connection is compatible with standard radiator thermostatic heads and allows precise temperature regulation when paired with a thermostatic head. The construction ensures reliable sealing and straightforward maintenance access, while the 1/2" threaded connection provides wide compatibility with common radiator fittings.

Suitable for

• Domestic radiator installations requiring a 90° pipe connection
• Commercial heating systems with space-restricted mounting
• Replacement or retrofit of existing angled radiator connections
• Applications requiring thermostatic control with a standard thermostatic head

Key specifications

• Connection orientation: angled (90°)
• Thread size: 1/2" standard radiator thread
• Compatibility: designed for thermostatic radiator heads and standard radiator fittings
• Function: flow control and isolation of radiator circuit
• Typical materials: corrosion-resistant metal alloy suitable for central heating use

How to use

Install the angled valve at the radiator’s inlet or outlet where a right-angle connection to the pipework is needed. Ensure the system is depressurised before removal of the old fitting. Screw the valve into the radiator connection using the 1/2" thread and tighten to the manufacturer’s recommended torque to achieve a secure seal. Connect the pipework to the valve outlet, check alignment, and fit a compatible thermostatic head if temperature control is required. Repressurise the system and inspect for leaks before normal operation.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible thermostatic heads for automatic temperature regulation; apply appropriate thread sealant or tape on threaded joints and perform a leak test after commissioning. Follow local plumbing codes and consider professional installation for complex or pressurised systems.
