What is the Difference between Straight and Angled Radiator Valves?
Straight radiator valves connect to the radiator at a 180 degrees (straight) angle whereas the angled radiator valve will hook on at a 90 degree right angle. The latter is the more
common as it provides more variation i.e. it can connect to pipe work via a wall or floor and means bottom and side inlets can be joined. The only time you’d really use a straight angle would be if the valve inlets were at the bottom back of the radiator.
Radiator valves can be bought when installing a bathroom radiator for the first time, or they can be bought separately and used to update an existing radiator. Then again, if you’re in the process of buying a new radiator then it might be the case that your existing radiator valves may not actually fit the new model.
Here at Bella Bathrooms our range of traditional radiator valves will offer something for every old style of bathroom. You can also be assured of their quality as the manufacturers’ offer decent guarantees on these essential products.
