Thanks to all replies, confirmed my thoughts and put me on the right path.

Room stat is in the ground floor hall way, and the rad with 2 normal valves on it is in the ground floor hall way. All this seems OK. I'm not a plumber, but, a mechanical engineer and reasonably DIYer. Using my engineering knowledge, it makes sense to have the TRV's on the flow side if using...

Hi, Looking for a decent, and cheap, way of measuring the temp in my rad's for balancing the system. Has anyone tried this : http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=220790 Or, do you have a recommendation of what to use?
