How Do I Turn On/of The Radiator Valves On A Towel Rail Radiator?

Humans tend to concentrate on things we don't understand. Since the bottom of your towel rail radiator has two valves, it is understandable if you're questioning why and what the valves are for. To quench your need for knowledge, we've dug deep into the towel radiator valve universe and crafted this short that explains the function of these valves and provides you with knowledge about how to turn on your towel rail radiator and its explanation.

Why do your towel radiator's valves come in pairs?

The two valves on your towel radiator allow you to manage the flow of hot water and the quantity of heat it emanates.

·   One valve controls the rate at which hot water enters the towel radiator.

·   The other valve regulates the rate at which hot water exits the radiator.

What is the purpose of two valves on your towel radiator?

One of the two valves on your towel radiator is often a lockshield valve, while the other is a wheel head valve or, in some instances, a TRV. The lockshield valve typically regulates the amount of hot water entering the radiator. The LSV controls the flow of hot water, which also ensures that the operation of the towel radiator won't compromise the efficiency of other radiators in your house.

 In contrast, the wheel-head valve controls the amount of heat the towel radiator emits. This valve on a towel radiator aims to regulate the radiator's temperature. Adjusting the wheel head valve counter-clockwise will increase the flow of water through the radiator, increasing its temperature. Similarly, moving it clockwise will reduce the temperature of the radiator.

A general guide to finding the correct size of towel rail

Now that you've decided on the perfect towel rail finish, it's time to decide on the right size for your bathroom. The width of a towel rail can range from 300 to 1800mm. The size of a heated towel rail should be proportionate to the size of the bathroom and the needs of the household. A towel rail that is too short may not be able to accommodate all of your towels, while a towel rail that is too long may result in higher energy losses hence higher bills. - Available space Consider the size of the bathroom or kitchen, especially the exact spot where it will be fixed. To ensure that the towel rail is the right size, neither too wide or too short, you should first measure the area where it will be installed. - Size and number of towels Choose the towel rail width according to the size or number of towels you plan on hanging.  If you have a large family, a 300 or 700mm wide bathroom  towel radiator  will serve you well.
