Radiator Lockshield Valve
A single radiator lockshield valve for balancing flow through a radiator on a wet central heating system. Choose the 15mm angled valve with an integral drain-off, or the 10mm straight valve for microbore pipework. Sold individually; pair with a TRV or wheelhead valve on the other side of the radiator.
Key points
- Lockshield cap: set once during commissioning to balance the radiator, then left alone
- 15mm angled version has a built-in drain-off, so the radiator can be drained without removing it from the wall
- 10mm straight version for microbore systems where pipes enter the radiator from the side
- Compression connection to copper pipe, with a 1/2in BSP male tail and union nut into the radiator
What's included
- 1 x lockshield valve with tail and union nut (single valve, not a pair)

Installation and compliance
Fit to the radiator return in place of the existing lockshield, using PTFE or a jointing compound on the tail thread. Drain down or isolate the radiator before changing a valve. After fitting, balance the system so each radiator reaches temperature evenly. Installation should be carried out by a competent person.
