Yes, the Bull TRV can be installed on most standard radiators that are compatible with thermostatic valves, but it's always best to consult a professional or the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure compatibility.
6. How does the valve control the radiator’s temperature?
The TRV automatically adjusts the flow of hot water into the radiator based on the room temperature, which can be set using the adjustable dial on the valve.
7. Does the Bull TRV work with all heating systems?
The Bull TRV is compatible with most central heating systems. However, it is not recommended for use in systems with steam radiators or one-pipe systems.
8. Is installation easy?
