Revive Radiators - help!

[noakesalfie]

We have a number of Revive column rads installed but some of them have been installed with the thermostatic valve on the opposite side as the blank.
They do say that due to their unique patented baffle that the "baffle and the flow need to be on the same side. It is imperative that the thermostatic valve always goes on the flow and is the same side as the blank. "
Just want to know if there would be any problems caused by this?

The rads will take twice as long to warm up properly, if at all.

Of course it doesn't mean that the TRV is on the flow side of the rad, most TRV's these days are bi directional. Check to see what pipe heats up first from cold.

Revive radiators say "It is imperative that the thermostatic valve always goes on the flow and is the same side as the blank. "
Has anyone fitted these and will it cause any damage if it is not fitted "correctly"?
The rads do heat up.

As said most thermostatic valves are bi directional. if your rads are heating up then don't worry about it. I cannot see any problems.
