Recommendations for TRVs

[Truman]

Hello all, I'm just a householder getting a couple of quotes for a new CH install and am looking at which TRVs to specify, seeing as the guys I've had quote me so far so just use cheap no-name TRVs, but are happy to price for and fit any I may choose.

I'm looking for a decent brand that shuts off fully, rather than have to faff about with a decorators cap. The Drayton TRV4 seems well rated till you read about them becoming brittle quite quickly and in any case they don’t shut fully off. The Danfoss ras c2 also looked good till I had a closer look at one in a friends house and the pin was very flimsy (and in his case all gunked up).

So… I’d be grateful for any recommendations you can give.

It would have to be a massive towel rail in a tiny room to make the TRV close down

I have one of these



as well as a 600 x 800 k2 in my bathroom. The rad has a TRV4 on it, but the rail doesn't - but I wish it did sometimes. That bathroom can get like a flippin' sauna.

That is also a radiator. When I say rail, I literally mean a towel warmer

Surely you mean 7.50 a set? Thats what i pay.

Box of 10 is £65 ?
