BELRAD Thermostatic Radiator Valve – Centre Connection Set Wall – Matt Black – M30 x 1/2"

This thermostatic radiator valve with centre connection from Belrad is designed for radiators with a bottom centre connection where the pipework runs out of the wall. The set combines a thermostatic valve with an M30 connection in a sleek matt black finish, making it an ideal match for modern designer radiators where exposed pipework is undesirable.

Specifications

Is this product right for your situation?

This connection set is suitable when your radiator has a bottom centre connection and the flow and return pipes run straight out of the wall. This is a common configuration for designer radiators and flat panel radiators mounted centrally on the wall. The M30 thermostatic head gives you precise temperature control per room, which is more energy-efficient than a standard lockshield valve.

Is this product not right for your situation? If your pipes come up from the floor, you will need a centre connection set with a floor outlet. Equally, if your radiator connection is not M30 x 1/2", or if you require an angled connection position, this model is not the correct choice. Always check the connection specifications of your radiator before ordering.

Installation and use

A common mistake when fitting a centre connection set is failing to measure the distance between the wall outlets accurately before connecting the set. The width of this set is 18 cm; ensure the centre-to-centre distance of your pipes matches this. Fit the thermostatic head only once all connections have been tightened and checked for leaks, so as not to damage the head whilst tightening the fittings.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a wall connection and a floor outlet on a centre connection set?

With a wall connection, the pipes run horizontally out of the wall directly towards the set. With a floor outlet, the pipes rise up from the floor. This set is suitable for wall pipework only; do not use it if your pipes come from below.

Does the M30 thermostatic head on this set work with a smart thermostat?

The M30 connection is a widely used standard that is compatible with many smart thermostatic heads, but this depends on the brand and model you wish to use. Check that your smart thermostat supports an M30 x 1/2" connection before combining it with this set.

Is this radiator valve also suitable for a bathroom radiator or towel radiator?

Yes, provided the radiator has a bottom centre connection and the pipes run from the wall. The matt black finish complements designer radiators in the bathroom or living room. Do bear in mind that the room should be adequately ventilated, as thermostatic heads work most accurately when airflow around the head is not obstructed.
