Radiator Angled Valve Varioterm 000M752A001 (1/2", SFK15-01) Nickel

Angled radiator valve Varioterm 000M752A001 (SFK15-01) with 1/2" connection and nickel finish is a mechanical valve for controlling the flow to hot-water radiators in central heating systems. Designed to fit standard 1/2" radiator fittings, this angled valve provides shut-off and flow regulation functions and is suitable for both replacement and new installations in domestic and light commercial applications.

Advantages

The Varioterm angled valve offers a compact, angled body that allows neat connection to radiators where straight fittings are impractical. The nickel finish increases surface durability and provides a neutral metallic appearance that suits many radiator styles. The valve is compatible with standard 1/2" connections and is intended to give reliable operation for routine shut-off and flow control tasks in hot-water systems.

Suitable for

• Replacement of existing 1/2" angled radiator valves in domestic radiators
• Installation on new hot-water radiators with standard 1/2" fittings
• Light commercial heating systems where 1/2" angled connections are used

When it may not be suitable

This valve is designed specifically for hot-water radiator systems with standard 1/2" connections and may not be appropriate for systems that require different connection sizes, straight valves, or specialised thermostatic control heads. It is not a thermostatic valve; temperature regulation requires a compatible thermostatic head or separate control device.

Key specifications

• Connection size: 1/2" (suitable for standard radiator fittings)
• Type: Angled radiator valve for shut-off and flow regulation
• Finish: Nickel surface
• Application: Hot-water central heating radiators

How to use

Shut off the heating system and drain the radiator section before removing the old valve. Fit the Varioterm angled valve to the radiator and supply pipe using the existing 1/2" connections, ensuring seals and compression fittings are correctly seated to prevent leaks. Once installed, refill and vent the radiator, check for leaks, and operate the valve to confirm proper shut-off and flow control. If temperature regulation is required, attach a compatible thermostatic head to the valve if the model supports such heads, or use a separate thermostat in the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your radiator and pipework use a standard 1/2" connection size
• Verify whether you need a thermostatic valve or a simple shut-off/flow valve
• Ensure the nickel finish and angled body suit the installation space and radiator style

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, install the valve in accordance with local plumbing codes, use appropriate sealing materials on threaded joints, and perform a pressure test after installation. Regular visual inspections and occasional operation of the valve spindle will help maintain functionality and reduce the risk of seizing.
