Isolating valves for plinth heater

[echoes]

Hi,

A Smiths hydronic plinth heater arrived today (SS5W).
Which isolating valves would you recommend?

Many thanks in advance.

Will this be good for balancing it?

<edit>Just had a google around - it's the other rads that might want turning down somewhat, I gather. I do not restrict flow to the plinth heater.</edit>

i would use something like this if you can , less likely to leak

ref balancing, you dont normally need to bother, they restrict flow enough on their own

yep thats ok or as mickyg said.

Thanks. I guess those gas (& water) ones with the yellow levers would be better as well (space permitting).
