Vertical radiator TRV position?

[houstonwehaveaproblem]

I’m doing this myself and never had a vertical rad before

Do these valves ok or not?

Be carefull and read the instructions with the rad , some have a baffle fitted and the pipes are connection sensitive , or in simple terms the Flow can only go on one side unlike a conventional rad where it doesnt matter

Why don't you have the valves vertical, it would look a lot better.

Is that a picture of your radiator or just pulled off the internet?

If you fitted corner valves it would look a lot better

Come out the wall and put a street elbow on the ends of the feeds, pointing up.
Pop valves on these in vertical position and then 90° into the rad... So... Valve input and output are reversed!

that’s my rad

I had some TRV's fitted as you show, the problem was reading the display, in the future you may want to fit some thing like this

which gives more control, and you want to be able to read the display, however TRV's will still work as shown.

The radiator looks great everything else looks great. But those valves look Shyt.

Turn the valves so that the thermostatic head look up
and put these on.
