Thermostatic Radiator Valve Sourcing V142310CBSEN 1/2"x1/2" Angle Chrome

The Sourcing thermostatic radiator valve V142310CBSEN is an angle-style valve with 1/2" x 1/2" connections and a chrome finish, designed to regulate hot-water flow to a radiator and maintain a set room temperature automatically. It is intended for use on systems where an angled connection is required and where automatic, proportional control of radiator temperature improves comfort and can reduce energy consumption.

Advantages

This angle thermostatic valve offers automatic temperature regulation through a self-acting thermostatic element that modulates flow in response to changes in room temperature. The chrome finish provides corrosion resistance and a low-profile, easy-to-clean surface suitable for visible installations. Compact angled body simplifies installation where pipework meets the radiator at an angle, and the valve is compatible with standard 1/2" radiator connections used in many residential and light-commercial heating circuits.

Suitable for

• Domestic central heating radiators with angled inlet connections
• Light-commercial heating systems where room-by-room temperature control is required
• Replacement of manual radiator valves to enable automatic temperature control
• Rooms where energy-efficient proportional control of heating is desirable

When it may not be suitable

This valve is intended for hot-water radiator systems and is not suitable for steam heating systems or for use with fluids other than water/glycol mixtures compatible with standard heating installations. It is designed for 1/2" x 1/2" angled connections; installations with different connection sizes or straight (inline) valve requirements will need a different valve type. For very large radiators or unusually high flow demands, confirm hydraulic compatibility with the system.

Key specifications

• Connection type: angle connection
• Connection size: 1/2" x 1/2"
• Finish: chrome
• Control type: thermostatic (self-acting temperature-responsive element)
• Application: hot-water radiator heating systems

How to use

Install the valve at the radiator inlet where the pipework provides an angled approach, ensuring the valve body and thermostatic head are oriented according to the radiator manufacturer’s guidance. After filling and venting the heating system, set the thermostatic head to the desired room temperature. The valve will automatically modulate hot-water flow to maintain the set temperature; occasional manual adjustment may be required when conditions change or when performing seasonal system maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your radiator and pipework use 1/2" angled connections compatible with this valve.
• Confirm that your heating system uses hot water (not steam) and that fluid type is compatible with thermostatic valves.
• Check available space around the radiator inlet to accommodate the angled valve body and thermostatic head movement.
• Ensure the valve’s flow capacity and range are appropriate for the radiator size and room heating requirements.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, install the valve with the thermostatic head in a location free from direct drafts, heat sources, or obstructions that could affect temperature sensing. During seasonal commissioning, bleed the radiator and verify thermostat response across the expected temperature range to ensure correct regulation and energy-efficient operation.
