Kartell K-VIT Aspen Manual Radiator Valves Straight with Pipes and Rosettes (Pair) – Chrome (ASP-STR)

Kartell K-VIT Aspen Manual Radiator Valves Straight with Pipes and Rosettes (Pair) – Chrome (ASP-STR)

Chunky, contemporary straight radiator valves in polished chrome from Kartell’s Aspen range, with a wide, flat-topped head. The pair comes complete with chrome pipes and rosettes, so the pipework coming up from the floor is covered for a neat, finished look – there is nothing extra to buy.

These are straight valves: use them where the pipes come up through the floor and go straight into a radiator or towel rail whose connections point downwards.

These are manual valves: you turn the head by hand to open or close the radiator, rather than the valve controlling the room temperature for you. They come as a pair – one valve to turn the radiator on and off, and a matching lockshield valve for the other end, which your plumber sets once to balance the heating system. Manual valves are a simple, good-looking choice for towel rails and radiators where you don’t need automatic temperature control.

Fitting

The valves are for standard UK 15mm pipework and connect to the radiator or towel rail with a standard ½” BSP fitting. Fitting means draining down or isolating the heating system, so we recommend using a plumber or heating engineer. Protect the finish while tightening the nuts (a couple of layers of cloth or paper between the spanner and the nut helps) and don’t over-tighten.

Looking after the finish

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry. Avoid abrasive pads, bleach and strong cleaning sprays, which can damage the polished chrome finish.
