How do you use Danfoss radiator valves?
By turning the handle on the thermostat you are able to select the desired room temperature. Simply turn the handle until the wanted position is at the green reference mark. The unique Danfoss snap connection makes mounting very way and fast – and no tool are needed to operate the locking mechanism.
Are Danfoss Trvs bidirectional?
Danfoss’s ‘flow selectable’ bi-directional TRV can be installed horizontally or vertically, in flow or return. If any noise occurs after fitting it can be stopped by simply ‘revolving’ the patented flow direction selector on the valve head from the factory-set position to the alternative setting.
How do I adjust the heat on my radiator?

What is an RA valve?
The RA-C valve can be used for heating or cooling, so the choice of thermostatic or electronic operators or controls will determine if the valve will open or close on a rise or fall in room temperature. RA-C is a normally open valve, with four possible pre-settings, ensuring the correct water flow to each circuit.
What number should your radiator be on?
As a rule of thumb most guidelines recommend heating your home to 70F (21C) and bedroom temperatures should be kept a little cooler to around 64F (18C). For most people this temperature will be comfortable, but if it feels a little hot (or alternatively cold) then the temperature can be adjusted from this baseline.
What are the 2 knobs on a radiator?
