Frequently asked questions
Straight radiator valves are designed to connect a radiator directly to pipework that approaches in a straight line. They are commonly used where the pipework comes directly out of the wall and aligns with the radiator connection.
Key benefits:

The main difference is the direction of the pipe connection.
Generally:

Always check your installation layout before ordering.
