Hi all
Been quoted to replace 12 rads and valves, when I asked what they use. He said ultra heat rads and EPH trv's.
Anyone used ultra heat rads or EPH trv's? Would you expect them to be any better than Screwfix Kudos?
I have 2 vertical radiators , when the TRV is fitted the radiators fail to get hot. I have replaced both TRVs for new and check the operation of the valve to confirm is correct operation but still no heat
If I removed the TRVs completely the radiators get hot, I would be grateful if someone...
I wonder if any of you could give me your opinion on Tower Trvs. We have the white basic ones. Horrific problems with them going off not coming back on or only coming on very little. My previous post will go into more detail. Just wondered if these are known to be a problem. They seem to...
When I moved into my bungalow 10 years ago the central heating was a nightmare. Hot water cylinder on the ground floor and presumably lack of general use of zone valves back in 1971 when the system was installed meant that 2 pumps had been installed. Firing of the boiler was controlled by a 4...
Hi,
I'm looking for some advice please.
We live in a bungalow with essentially 2 ends. 1 end with 2 bedrooms, hallway & bathroom. The other end lounge, dining room and kitchen. These 3 are seperate rooms but interconnected. There are 7 rads. The combi boiler has a normal 7 day on/off timer and...
My CH system has nominal 9.5 KW of radiator capacity and 13 radiators plus the indirect hot water cylinder through a diverter valve. All but 4 radiators have TRV's fitted. Those that don't are the downstairs toilet (0.29 KW) Hallway that has the system room stat (0.84 KW) kitchen (1.25 KW) and...
Just had an email from a customer, wanting a quote.
How long would it take to fit 21 trvs, 21 locksheilds and 21 vents? The customer wants to buy all the parts. Would you do the job?
Thanks

Evening All!
I am having a thick moment. Again.
What does boiler+ say about installing TRVs when swapping a boiler?
I have heard some say that you (always) need to fit TRVs when swapping a boiler. Others say that you dont now don't need TRVs with the uprated Boiler+ controls.
Any thoughts?

Hi, I'm not a plumber but a retired householder who used used to do some of my own plumbing. The CH system in our house was installed before the days of compulsory trv's and just has a lockshield valve and a control valve on each radiator. Many of these have not been touched for over 20 years...
I currently have a 17 year old Ariston Microgenus 27MFFI boiler that is getting increasingly noisy so looking to replace rather than spend money on. It supports my DHW requirements with regard to a decent shower but I don't want to go less. I have found online that it will produce 35 degree...
Hi, I have gas central heating with a conventional boiler with a cold water tank and a hot water storage cylinder.
One of my radiators towards the end of the run used to get hot and I would then control the temperature with the TRV valve. Someone has turned the lock shield valve on the...
Hi,
Looking to upgrade a customers old y plan system, currently no rad valves fitted only lock shield and wheel heads on rads.
I have used EPH branded TRV's in the past, looking to try something else with recommendation, all comes down to pricing a decent job though.
Cheers for your help.
So I am not a plumber but have reasonable technical mind.
Can anyone explain why have a 'room' thermostat and TRV?
For example, our bungalow has 5 rads with TRV and the one in the bathroom no TRV, plus we have a 'room' thermostat in the hall.
If the hall TRV is set lower than the room stat...
Hi,
I recently replaced my boiler (combi) and all my rads.
All the rads were fitted with a TRV except the heated towel rail in the bathroom.
When I turned the heating on all the rads were heating up to very hot quite quickly, apart from the two doubles which only heated to warm and then...
