Frequently asked questions
Thermostatic Radiator Valves
How do I control room temperature with the operator?
Control of the space temperature at a comfortable level is easily accomplished by adjusting the dial clockwise or counterclockwise.
What do the numbers on the dial mean?
The dial has a numbered scale of 1 to 5 corresponding to temperatures of approximately 57°F to 79°F (14°C to 26°C).
What are some general tips of operator placement within the room?
The operator or sensing element must not be:
- in a drafty location
- covered
- installed above a heat source
What is the correct mounting orientation of the operator?
The correct orientation direction is dependent upon the selected operator type. See the mounting guide visual below for reference.

What can I do if the radiator is producing too much heat?
There are a couple of reasons for overheating depending upon which system you have:
For One or Two-pipe systems:
- Ensure operator is not in a cold or drafty spot
- Check on dial adjustment knob as setting could be set too high
- Add a vacuum breaker which allows steam supply to cycle properly
For Hot Water systems:
- Check operator installation as it may not be seated properly
What if the radiator is not producing sufficient heat?
For 'under heating' issues:
- Ensure radiator is not blocked by furniture, heavy curtains, etc.
- Ensure operator is not in a 'hot' spot or wrong sensor location for that product selection.
