I'm planning on adding a towel radiator to our bathroom and also replacing the existing 600x600 radiator. I'm going to be linking up with the existing flow/return feeds for the new radiator & towel rail.
When I've fitted radiators before I've noticed that the TRV valves were marked as bidirectional, why is this as I'd assumed this is the case anyway?
I'm also a little confused as I've seen it explained that the lock shield valve side was where the hot water entered the radiator from the system while somewhere else it said the opposite. Also are lock shield valves normally bidirectional? If they are does it actually matter which way the TRV & lock shields are fitted, are they reversible?
When I fit the towel rail am I right in assuming I'll be fitting TRV & lockshield valves just like you would on a normal radiator?
