Identify TRV manufacturer

[spudgun81]

Hello,

I'm having trouble turning off a TRV, it still allows water past when it's in the off position. So i need to get a cap for it.

Thing is, I don't know the manufacturer - can anyone help identify it for me? I want to contact them to make sure I get the right cap, and hopefully some instructions on fitting it.

It has a little blue VW as the logo. When I search for that all I get Is Volkswagen spares..

prob be the valve itself that is passing, be easier to change the entire valve

We fit Vogel & Noot radiators, never seen their valves before. Might be worth a Google.

that's an old honeywell.

I used to have some, probably about 25 years old. They all failed open.

Have seen them still on the market in Italy more recently.

You might be able to put some small coins between the head and the pin.

Very old Honeywell design. They were being sold off under the name Harvey Haybridge or somesuch in the mid 80s.

Someone smashed a window on my car in Kennington Road and stole just a bag of them, left everything else in the car!

Thank you all for your replies! Ill see if Honeywell have any spares...

I plan on replacing them as I get round to each room, as several of you said they are really old!

e-mailed honeywell, they are gonna pop a couple of caps in the post. Can't fault them

were they also not sold as Temptrol? If so good to know you can still get spares.

Yes they were, under the Harvey Haybridge manufacturer's name.
