How to Change Valves on Hot Water Radiators Step 1 - Cut the Power Step 2 - Drain the Water Step 3 - Prepare the New Valve Step 4 - Remove the Old Valves Step 5 - Replace the Valves Step 6 - Turn the Water On
How a Steam Radiator Air Valve Works. When the steam boiler is not in a heating cycle, the radiator air vent is open, allowing ambient air to fill the radiator. During a heating cycle, steam flows up through the supply pipe to the radiator. As the radiator fills with steam it pushes the air out through the open vent.
The purpose of a Thermostatic Control Valve (TCV) is to regulate the temperature of water before it reaches your sink or bathtub faucet. A TCV ensures constant temperature of water by blending hot water with cold water to prevent scalding or thermal shock.
Attach the new thermostatic valve or manual valve Holding the valve body with the grips, align it with the adapter and tighten the cap nut with the spanner that holds them together. Then tighten the cap nut that holds the valve to the pipe. Tighten the nuts by hand for speed then finish off with the adjustable spanner.
Use a container underneath the valve to catch any drips but all of the water should have been drained from the radiator. Now use the spanner and grips and turn the nut anticlockwise to loosen the nut on the bottom of the lockshield valve that connects to the pipework and disconnect the old valve.
So, to remove your lockshield valve, use a spanner to slacken off the top nut closest to the radiator like you did in step 5. To do this, hold the body of the valve with the grips and use an adjustable spanner to make an upwards turn and unscrew the cap nut.
The standard size of copper pipework is 15mm and all of our radiator valves have a half inch (½”) thread on the bottom (the part that connects the valve to the pipe) which makes them suitable for use with 15mm piping.
