Radiator Isolator valve


The purpose of this valve is to enable one to have heated radiators in the bathroom in warm weather when the rest of the house radiators will normally be off.

The valve is close to the floor near the wall at the front of the cylinder.

The valve is motorised and has been set so that when it is ‘off’ ie not powered, it restricts the hot water so that it only goes to the bathroom radiators.
 

When it is ‘on’ ie powered, it allows hot water to flow to the room radiators. If the valve goes wrong, it will probably jam closed which means that only the bathroom radiators will be on.
 

The valve has a manual override so that when off, it can be ‘locked’ open manually. To use this ‘lock’ the valve has to be off. There is a lever and this has to be moved slowly, against the gear, and locked into the hook or ratchet. It will then be held open.
 

A condensing boiler is a high efficiency modern boiler that incorporates an extra heat exchanger so that the hot exhaust gases lose much of their energy to pre-heat the water in the boiler system. When working at peak efficiency, the water vapour produced in the combustion process condenses back into liquid form releasing the latent heat of vaporisation. A side effect is that this water, known as condensate, which is usually acidic, has to be piped away to a drain or soakaway.

To learn more about how a condensing boiler can lower your heating costs, contact us today!

There are three main types of heating system: conventional, combi and thermal store. The combi boiler has been a common choice in recent years, but it does have some drawbacks. The thermal store and boiler combination produces the highest efficiency - and that means the lowest bills for you. It costs more to install, but then it saves on your gas bill month after month.

So, to decide which one is right for you, just contact us and we'll go through the options with you.
