Kartell Style Straight Trv

Kartell Style Straight Trv

The Kartell Style Straight TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve) is a sleek, modern heating control designed for radiators where the pipework runs vertically from the floor directly into the bottom of the radiator. Part of the contemporary "Style" range by Kartell UK, this valve combines a minimalist aesthetic with high-performance thermostatic regulation, making it a perfect match for modern homes and designer towel rails.

Key Features and Specifications
Design: Straight Orientation — Engineered for a "line-of-sight" connection between the floor-entry pipework and the radiator valve tapping.

Finish: Finished in a premium Polished Chrome, providing a high-gloss, mirror finish that is both durable and easy to maintain.

Accuracy: Features a liquid-filled sensing element that ensures rapid and precise response to room temperature changes, preventing energy waste.

Inlet Size: Standard 15mm Compression, compatible with standard UK copper or plastic (with inserts) heating systems.

Thermostatic Control: Allows for individual room temperature settings, automatically throttling the flow of hot water to maintain the user’s desired comfort level.

Frost Protection: Includes a built-in frost setting to protect the system and pipework from freezing during periods of inactivity.

The Installer's Advantage
The Kartell Style range is favored by installers for its clean lines and robust build quality. The straight configuration is essential for achieving a neat, "vertical-up" look without the need for unsightly elbow joints or additional pipe bending. Its compact design ensures it doesn't look bulky on smaller radiators or towel rails, while the high-quality chrome plating ensures a professional finish that resists the "pitting" often seen in budget valves.

Essential Companion Products
To ensure a professional and secure installation, the following components are recommended:

Joint Integrity: Use Hawk Jointing Compound (400g) on the radiator tail threads to ensure a permanent, watertight seal.

System Health: Prevent internal corrosion and scale buildup with Hinton H14 System Inhibitor.
