An angled manual valve is a valve that connects to pipework that approaches the radiator at an angle. Being "manual" means the valve must be adjusted by hand to control the flow of water and regulate the radiator’s heat.
3. What are the benefits of using a manual radiator valve?
Manual valves provide simple control over the radiator’s heat output. You can manually adjust the valve to increase or decrease the flow of water, giving you control over the room's temperature.
4. Is this valve compatible with all types of radiators?

10. Is this valve energy efficient?
While manual valves allow you to control the radiator's heat, they don't automatically adjust like thermostatic valves. For optimal energy efficiency, manual adjustments are required based on room temperature.
11. Can I use this valve with underfloor heating?
No, manual radiator valves are designed specifically for use with radiators and are not compatible with underfloor heating systems.
12. Does this valve come with a matching lockshield valve?
Check the product details to see if a matching lockshield valve is included, or if it must be purchased separately to complete your setup.
