If you've invested in a beautiful cast iron radiator, the last thing you want is a pair of cheap plastic valves ruining the aesthetic. The VANCOCO Antique Brass Thermostatic Radiator Valves solve this problem elegantly — delivering genuine thermostatic temperature control wrapped in a rich antique brass finish with solid wood handwheels that look as good as they function.
What Are the VANCOCO Antique Brass TRVs?
This is a pair of 1/2" angled thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) designed for 15mm pipe connections and angled radiator inlets — the standard configuration for most traditional UK radiator setups. The antique brass finish and solid wood handwheel make them a natural companion for cast iron column radiators, Victorian-style radiators, and period property interiors.
Key Features
- Antique brass finish — rich, warm tones that complement cast iron and traditional interiors
- Thermostatic control — automatically regulates heat output based on room temperature, saving energy
- Solid wood handwheel — premium tactile feel, far superior to standard plastic alternatives
- 1/2" angled design — fits standard 15mm pipe connections and angled radiator inlets
- Sold as a pair — includes both the thermostatic valve and the lockshield valve
