Specc'ing some TRVs for my new radiators. Prices seem to range from £10-30ish
Only need 6 with lockshields so not really too bothered about paying a bit extra for something good and reliable with a long life.

Angled, white and with liquid sensor.
Which brands do you recommend? Drayton? Danfoss? Honeywell?

cheers

cheers Mark - I was tempted by the drayton4's

Siemens or Drayton can't go wrong, worth paying the extra £££ for a better quality and finish sensitivity is a bout the same across the board.

The TVR is a sports car and not really at all like a Rolls-Royce....

Draytons were renowned for getting stuck, not sure about the TRV4 version though, think only ever had one or two stuck Honeywell valves though.

honeywell vt200(e?) are solidly made look good and they're honeywell

bit stiff to adjust if your a serial valve fiddler though!
