Which Radiator Valves Are Correct for Me?

When upgrading or installing radiators, choosing the right radiator valves is just as important as selecting the radiator itself. The right valves not only control the heat output and efficiency of your system but also influence the overall style of your room.

At Monsterplumb, we stock a wide range of radiator valves, including trusted brands like Drayton and our own stylish Leonova range. Whether you’re looking for practical thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), manual valves, or designer options in unique finishes, we’ve got you covered.


Why choose Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs)?

Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) have become increasingly popular in recent years — and for good reason.

Improved energy efficiency
TRVs automatically control the flow of hot water into the radiator based on the temperature you set. This helps maintain a comfortable room temperature and reduces wasted energy, ultimately saving on heating bills.

Room-by-room control
With TRVs, you can set different temperatures for individual rooms. So, if you prefer a cooler bedroom and a warmer living room, it’s easy to achieve without affecting the rest of the system.

Enhanced comfort
TRVs provide more consistent comfort levels by preventing rooms from overheating. Once your chosen temperature is reached, the valve will restrict hot water flow to maintain it.

Eco-friendly choice
By minimising energy waste, TRVs help reduce your carbon footprint — a simple yet effective way to make your home greener.


Our range of TRVs at Monsterplumb

We’re proud to stock a variety of TRVs to suit different needs and styles:

  • Drayton TRVs: Drayton is a highly trusted name in heating controls, known for its reliability and precision.
    • The Drayton Angled RT212 Valve Body Chrome is a popular choice and is compatible with RT212 TRV heads only, offering a sleek and modern look.
    • The Drayton Wiser Smart TRV Radiator Valve Body is designed for use with Drayton Wiser heads and TRV4 TRV heads — perfect for those looking to integrate smart heating into their homes.
  • Leonova TRVs: Our very own Leonova range combines functionality with designer style. Available in a wide selection of finishes, Leonova valves allow you to match your radiator valves to your interior design.

Designer styles to suit every room

Your radiator valves don’t just control heat — they can also enhance the overall look of your space. Our Leonova radiator valves come in a huge variety of colours and styles, including:

  • White
  • Chrome
  • Anthracite
  • Brushed Brass
  • Antique Brass
  • Matt Black

Whether you want a classic, subtle finish or a bold, statement look, Leonova has an option for you. Plus, you can choose from round or square designs, as well as different configurations: corner, angled, and straight manual radiator valves to suit any installation.


Manual valves — simple and reliable

If you prefer a straightforward solution without automatic temperature control, manual radiator valves are still a great option. These allow you to manually open or close the valve to control the heat output. Our Leonova manual valves come in the same stylish finishes, so you don’t have to compromise on looks.


Which is right for you?

  • If you want maximum energy efficiency and room-by-room temperature control, choose TRVs.
  • If you prefer a more traditional or simple setup, manual valves may be the better choice.
  • If style is your top priority, Leonova’s wide choice of finishes and shapes lets you create a cohesive designer look throughout your home.
