Kartell K-VIT Nostalgia Manual Radiator Valves 15mm Angled (Pair) – Antique Brass (VLVCHA-AB1)

Kartell K-VIT Nostalgia Manual Radiator Valves 15mm Angled (Pair) – Antique Brass (VLVCHA-AB1)

Traditional angled radiator valves in an antique brass finish with Victorian detailing and an ornate wheel head – made to suit period homes and cast iron-style radiators. If you would like temperature control in the same style, see the Nostalgia thermostatic twin pack.

These are angled valves: use them where the pipe comes up out of the floor (or out of the wall) and turns through 90° into the side of the radiator.

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

Antique brass has a deliberately aged look. Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth only – metal polish, abrasive pads and strong cleaning sprays will strip the finish.
