A angled radiator valve is one kinds of manual valves which is normally connected with the radiator or towel rail. It is normally connected with the pipes come from the wall. There is a twisting hand wheel on the top. It can help us to control the heat output of your radiator by limit the amount of hot water flow.
A radiator or towel rail will need two valves. One will be fit to inlet pipe, to control the amount of hot water to enter the radiator. And the other one will be fit to the return pipe to balance the system by controlling heat output out of the radiator. Sometimes we can call it ‘lockshield valve’ or return valve.
It is recommended that the angled radiator valves should be installed on the bottom of the towel rail or radiator where the pipes come into and exit the radiator. Normally they will be fitted at the bottom left and right of the radiator, but sometimes needed to be fitted to the bottom middle of the radiator.
There are different types of radiator valves, such as angled, corner, straight, and h-block valves. The angled radiator valves are normally installed with the pipes come from the wall, while the straight one are normally installed with the pipes come from the floor. And the H-Block radiator valve should be connected to the radiator with a bottom middle connection.
