Whether you need straight, angled or corner radiator valves for your radiator depends on two things:

1. Does your radiator have side or underside connections?

Side connections: the valves screw into the side of the radiator e.g. Core.

Underside connections: the valves screw into the bottom of the radiator e.g. D-Line.

2. Where is your pipework currently coming from in your house?

Your pipe work might be coming from your floor or your wall.

So, do you need angled, corner or straight valves?

Angled valves:

If your radiator has side connections and your pipework is coming from the floor, we recommend using angled valves so that the heads of the valves will sit vertically at the side of the radiator. This will be near and the heads of the valves will not protrude past the front of your radiator.

Corner valves:

If your radiator has side connections and your pipework is coming out of the wall, we recommend using corner valves so that the head of the valves will sit upright at the side of the radiator.

If your radiator has underside connections (at each side) and your pipework is coming out of the wall, we recommend corner valves so that the heads of the valves point towards the centre of the radiator. Your valves will be in line with the bottom of the radiator without protruding past the front of the radiator.

Straight valves:

If your radiator has underside connections and your pipework is coming out of the wall, we recommend straight valves so that the heads of the valves point inwards. The water will go through the pipe into the valve and straight into the body of the radiator. Your valves will not protrude past the front of the radiator.

We offer several valve options including thermostatic valves such as Elegant and Flo, and manual valves such as Minimus, available in a wide range of finishes and in corner, straight, and angled configurations.
