High quality thermostatic brass valve and lockshield set
Available in standard angle connections for 1/2″ (15mm) connections to copper pipe
Supplied in brass or chrome plated finish.
Please note that as all radiator valves are custom made we are unable to accept returns unless the item is damaged in transit or faulty.
Thermostatic valves are bi-directional.
Operating temperature range approximately 5-30 degrees centigrade.<br>
Turn handwheel clockwise to decrease the temperature and vice versa. <br>
Normal room temperatures are achieved with between 1 or 2 black rings being exposed on the valve stem. Complete clockwise rotation of the handwheel will give full mechanical shutdown of the valve, overriding the thermostatic mechanism.
Heating systems with thermostatic radiator valves must be fitted with relevant differential by-pass valves.
Test Pressure: 7 bar/100 psi – manual and thermostatic. Differential pressure: 0.6
Unwrap valves, preventing damage by laying them on the tissue paper in which they were wrapped. Apply sealing tape or sealant to the thread of the radiator connector. Tighten the connector into the radiator using a 12mm. hexagon key.
Ensure that the rubber ‘o’ ring is in place on the connector before re-attaching the valve body.
After installation clean the valves with a soft cloth.
ALWAYS when tightening or unscrewing incoming pipework, use a spanner fitted to the inlet adaptor hexagon – Damage to the valve could result if these instructions are not followed.<br>
To prevent damage to the valve nuts, cut strips of cardboard from the packaging and wrap around the nuts before applying a spanner to them.

Our cast iron airbricks are supplied in primed finish, ready for on-site painting. This allows them to be finished to match the existing ironwork or masonry colour of the building. Standard black gloss is the most common finish for conservation and heritage projects.

Yes. Bespoke copy casting is a core service at Tuscan Foundry Products. We can replicate any cast iron gutter, downpipe, hopper head, or fitting from drawings, detailed photographs, or a physical sample or surviving section. Each commission is assessed individually. Lead time is typically 8 to 10 weeks, and quantities as low as a single piece can be considered depending on pattern-making costs.
BS 460:2002 is the British Standard governing cast iron rainwater goods — gutters, pipes, and fittings. It sets the dimensional tolerances, materials, and performance requirements a component must meet, so that joints seal, sections align, and the system performs as a whole rather than as isolated parts. All Tuscan Foundry Products components are manufactured to comply with BS 460:2002, which is worth citing directly in specification documents and listed building consent applications. The same manufacturing standard applies to bespoke and copy-cast work, even where the profile itself isn't from our standard range.
Yes. Cast iron hopper heads are the historically correct choice for listed and period buildings, and a like-for-like cast iron replacement is generally accepted without objection by conservation officers. We manufacture to BS 460 for genuine heritage character and durability.
Our cast iron airbricks are available in three standard sizes: 225mm × 75mm (single course), 225mm × 150mm (double course), and 225mm × 225mm (square format). These correspond to the standard airbrick positions used in Victorian and Edwardian brickwork. Each size is available across the School Board, Louvre, and Ornamental pattern ranges.

The Pultney Tapered Hopper Head is available in three pipe connection sizes: 65mm (2.5"), 75mm (3"), and 100mm (4"). Each size connects directly to matching cast iron downpipes via spigot and socket. Compatible downpipe codes are: 65mm — RH025, XRH025; 75mm — RH03, XRH03; 100mm — RH04, XRH04.
