The Ravenheat Angled Radiator Valve 15mm is a high-quality valve set designed to control the flow of water in and out of radiators, helping to balance your central heating system efficiently. This pack typically includes both a lockshield valve and a wheelhead valve, making it a practical and complete solution for radiator installation or replacement.
Engineered for use with 15mm pipework, these angled valves are ideal for connecting radiators with side inlet/outlet configurations where pipework comes from the floor or wall at a right angle. The lockshield valve allows installers to regulate the flow of water through each radiator, ensuring balanced heat distribution throughout the system, while the wheelhead valve serves as the manual on/off control.
Built for reliability and durability, these valves are suitable for most domestic heating applications and compatible with standard UK radiator fittings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q1: What’s the difference between a lockshield and wheelhead valve?
A: The lockshield valve is typically adjusted during installation to balance the system—once set, it's usually left untouched. The wheelhead valve allows for manual control, turning the radiator on or off.
Q2: Can these valves be used with thermostatic heads?
A: No. These are manual valves. If thermostatic control is needed, consider the Ravenheat Thermostatic Radiator Valve (TRV) instead.
Q3: Are these suitable for vertical pipework?
A: These angled valves are specifically designed for connections where the pipe enters at a 90° angle to the radiator (e.g., from the floor or wall into a side inlet).
Q4: Are any tools included for installation?
A: No tools are included. Professional installation is recommended for secure and leak-free fitting.
Q5: Are they compatible with all radiator types?
A: These valves are compatible with most UK radiators that use a standard 15mm compression fitting.
