Angled Valves
Angled Valves are the most common style of valves. Angled Valves are best used when you have a radiator with connections on the side at the bottom (referred to as ‘BOE’ connections) and your pipe work is coming up from beneath, usually out from the floor. By using Angled Valves in this circumstance, you keep the head of the valve pointing up towards the ceiling and tucked neatly away by the side of the radiator, which is both the most visually pleasing option and the easiest to adjust. For pipework which comes out from the wall instead, we would recommend corner valveS.

ANGLED VALVE FAQs
WHAT IS AN ANGLED VALVE?
An angled valve is a valve with pipework in a right angle configuration, with the side connection meeting your radiator and the pipework connection at right angle pointing down.
WHAT RADIATORS ARE ANGLED VALVES USED FOR?
If your pipework exits up from the floor and your new radiator has side connections on opposite ends of your radiator, you can use Angled Valves. If your pipework exits from the wall but travels up toward the radiator, you can use Angled Valves. If your radiator has pipework underneath, you can also use Angled Valves, but they will stick out and possibly be a trip hazard!
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BTWEEN A MANUAL ANGLED VALVE AND A THERMOSTATIC ANGLED VALVE?
A manual Angled Valve is a simple on/off valve. Radiators with manual valves will turn on with your central heating and turn off when it goes off. Thermostatic valves allow you to control the flow of water into your radiator, turning the valve from 1 to 5, thus allowing you to control the temperature of your radiator.
