What are the benefits of press fit products?
Thank you for showing us how the whole thing actually works. In my case, the pin/plunger was stuck so I was not getting any hot water flowing inside the radiator. Fixed it by gently tapping it with the hammer and a bit of WD-40 afterwards to make sure it doesn't get stuck again anytime soon.
Should I leave the black dust cap off. I have loosened it and a small rush of air came out. Therefore if cap is left on no air will come out. 🤔
I feel this video would have been better with a close up of the valve. It was a bit hard to see in your hands. Animations would have helped a bit too. Other than that very well explained, I learned alot
Hi what is the difference between pressure reducing valve and pressure regulators?
Very nice, and useful!
Julia Fall
Doesn’t seem like you can still get these calculators, the website has a 404 error when I fill the form in.
Hi @harris-k£b - we are experiencing an issue with the form on our website, however if you email or your details for marketing@altecnic.co.uk we can send you the calculators directly. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for the information. This video would've been a lot cooler if the camera zoomed on your hand to see the components better, though. Cheers!
Thanks for the feedback and for watching the video
I love this channel - Well done and keep the videos and shorts coming
Does it release any water when releasing pressure?
The PRV controls pressure and regulates pressure/flow through it therefore passing water through/downstream of the valve to outlets. If you would like any more information on our PRVs, you can talk to our technical department by filling out the form: www.altecnic.co.uk/contact-us/. Hope that helps!
Does installation orientation make a difference? Can it be installed in any position?
why is there a 3 minute long unskippable ad at the beginning for the video?! It is crazy
followed by another 1 minute long skippable ad?! WTF?!
Hi @amandedhia unfortunately this is not something we control, but thank you for the feedback and watching our channel.
Rubbish system hot water didn’t work properly
Aargh.. with a new installation I was just about to wrap my antifreeze valves.. glad I checked but do wish they came with fitted purpose made insulation though 🤔
Looks great Ed 👍
You've gotta love it when a plan comes together - my quesiton was, does this thing detect the air or the water temp and as such, can I insulate the crap out of it as its on a heat pump an will be outside? First vid, 'how do you insulate the valve', well done!
You need to speak slowly young man, great advice here. Joe
The Thermostatic Element expands in the center depending on temperature, how does it do that? Is the metal just a metal with an expansion rate for heat that we found that is roughly acceptable and safe for most human skin?
If it's anything like a vehicle thermostat it could be a wax which expands under heat. Wax motors are quite typical in these kinds of valves. An adjustment could just be a screw which adjusts where the body of that wax motor sits.
Can you please tell us which unions you use either side of these valves?
How do I completely stop any water passing the valve so I can get the radiator off? Thank you
Good video thanks for uploading 👍🏻
How have you converted the kW outputs to Volume?
This valve is made of brass, so it is a very good conductor of heat, which means that not insulating this valve will compromise the heat retention. Effectively this valve seriously reduces the efficiency of the ASHP system.
Can you manually open the valve to empty the system? Or do you have to wait for the thermostat? For example if you know there's a long power outage.
How do you know if the thermostatic cartridge is faulty until the function of the valve is needed but not working (in other words, how do you know before it is too late to know)?
Aren’t there any filters that need checking???
What are the consequences of this valve functioning? When reaching temperatures of 3 degrees and below, I understand that the water is released out. But... can it be released only from the heatpump and leave rest of the water - from the inhouse heating system - intact? Or there is a risk of depressurising and emptying the entire heating circuit, also from inside the house?
Thanks for your question! The operational function of the valve is to draw warmer water from the system to the cooler parts to prevent freezing, this would no doubt over a period of time draw water from within the property. The discharge rate is approx 0.5ltrs per hour at -5deg, however for the system to drop to 3deg at -1deg ambient temperature could take up to 36hrs so the chance of activation is minimal. Also if the valve were to activate, I would assume only an amount of the head of pressure will be released and not full system drainage. For any more information, please follow the link: www.altecnic.co.uk/contact-us/
@@altecniclimited947 thank you for such a complete answer. I finally understand its functioning.
Thank you
I want a mixing valve that fits where my existing valve is and does nothing but let as much hot water as I want into my soaking tub.
Thanks for sharing this. I recently replaced Myson TRV with one from Toolstation - the head only, which fitted on okay. I also did the same with one from ebay. When I switched the heating on, the room temperature was already 18 degrees in the two rooms and the trv was set on number 1, but the radiators still warmed up - eventually reaching 20 degrees, yet the TRV shouldn't have activated because number 1's temperature activation was no more than 14 degrees. I expected to turn the knob to number 3 if I wanted 20 degrees. Do some of these TRVs not work as expected for some reason? I could go out and purchase your brand but I am unsure if I might experience the same problem.
Interesting product. Can I use this in my loft on the water supply to my central heating's feed & expansion tank?
Have fitted two today! Incredible product.
Glad you like them! Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Ed, Excellent informative vedios as always. I am struggling to find the special spanner and replacement cartridge you presented on the Caleffi 535H series a year ago. Can you please advise where I pay be able to purchase them in the East Midlands UK. Thank you
Hi @yogeshmistry1662 - thanks for your question. Please email the details to technical@altecnic.co.uk who will be able to help you find the exact part you need and recommend a stockist. Thanks for watching!
you must change the design to include a waste exit on the hot side ; why ? because when you have a solarheater on the roof, you need to waste the cold water in the pipe till you got the hot one; Thinking to be used on dishwasher as well.
Does it significantly reduce the water flow? Thanks
Same question, did you get an answer?
@@Bulls79 nope.
@@tractortamno1 maybe I'll go with a standard mixer, to avoid any issues! 😄
Hi, no the flow rate is not significantly reduced, in fact the flow restriction in the tap will have more of an impact than the TMV
Is the cap on a fillings loop for a pressure gauge?
Do you ship to the US?
Thanks for showing interest in our products! There is a Caleffi North America, where you will have access to our range of Caleffi products, including the iStop® Anti-Freeze Valve. You can find out more using the link: www.caleffi.com/en-int/antifreeze-valve-108-caleffi-108601
@@altecniclimited947 thank you, but I still don’t see a way to actually make a purchase from that site. it seems all of the valves I’m finding for sale are in Europe.
How can I get one of these in the USA?
Hi - thanks for watching! You can email sales@caleffi.com who will help you find a local stockist.
Absolutely loved this presentation Ed 👍 I am aware that this was posted a while ago but your products are leaps and bounds ahead of what I work with.
Awesome, thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching!
Good evening. I’m midway through your presentation and I’m finding it really informative. I’ve just started working on a university campus and one of the main buildings is comprised of student accommodation and a hotel. The original installation is a district system supplying multiple hiu,s . The main problem in my opinion is the hot water primary pipe work supplying the required heat to the plate exchanger . Although the pipe work is insulated the heat generated by the primary circuit throughout the building and in the risers creates a level of radiant heat leading to constant complaints. I would like to hear what you think mate. 👍 Many thanks, and kind regards, Les.
Hi Les, for all technical advice you can email technical@altecnic.co.uk or call us on 01785 218206. Thanks for watching and for your feedback.

In my shower it disperses only hot water at all temp settings. Does it matter if cold or hot lines are incorrectly connected? Please advise. Thanks
Yes it of course matters if hot and cold are incorrectly connected
Does this empty the system if the pipework drops below 3 degrees?😊
It happened to me and I didn’t know what was wrong with the the heat…completely drained it out
Great, concise content.
Thanks for your feedback and for watching! You may find our free, accredited, on demand training portal, Altecnic Academy of interest too. You can find training course details on our website at www.altecnic.co.uk/technical-hub/training-and-cpds/ - would love to get your feedback on this.
like that
Any filter you can visibly see the iron oxide/ buid up through is a winner, however i would like to see a more substantial sized magnet incorporated within. All the best. Kane Plumbtek
The chamber does not look big enough if the system was heavily clogged also is that magnet big enough?
Thanks for your question Mark, we absolutely agree that choosing the right filter for the right system is key to ensuring an efficient working system for installers and homeowners. In the case of a heavily clogged system, a magnetic filter alone would not solve the problem and a full system flush would be required prior to installation of a filter like the XS. We also have a range of other magnetic filters with larger collection chambers that may be more suitable to larger systems. The benefit of installing the XS would be that the glass visual indicator allows installers and homeowners alike to visually inspect the cleanliness of a system without having to isolate and drain, meaning you only take action when it's required.
Do you just need 1 valve near the heat pump or one on the flow and the return from the heat pump?
Hi - you need one on the flow and the return. Please get in touch with our technical team at technical@altecnic.co.uk if you would like any other info.
Nice wanted to get the tec spec but your download section only has a picture.
Hi @dorsetwatersofteners, you can now find the data sheet in the technical specification on the product page: www.altecnic.co.uk/drytraptundish
That link doesn't work. I am also trying to get more info, particularly the dimensions which aren't shown on your website.
I've searched but can't find how the thermostat function is achieved? Is it like the wax filled automative themostat?
