A recent article in the Manchester Evening News stated: "My advice is to go around every single room and switch off any radiator you're not using. If you can turn off 50% of your radiators, you will save 50% on your gas bill - it is that straight forward".
Should you choose to follow this advice and change the settings on your radiator valves, this best selling locking cover can help you prevent others from tampering with your radiators at a later date.
How does this unique cover work?
This clam style polycarbonate cover is supplied in two halves. Once in position, the cover completely wraps around the radiator valve. When the hinges are linked together at the back and the padlock is secured, there is a significant space between the radiator valve and the cover itself. As such, when someone tries to turn the cover, the valve inside will not turn at the same time. The cover will simply rotate on its own.
Affixing the radiator valve cover:
This unique radiator valve cover should be slid down the back of the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV), with the clear hinges facing the wall. Before buying, ensure there is a gap of at least 2.5cm (approximately 1 inch) between the valve and the wall. Once it is slid into position, the clam shell design closes around the valve. The red retainer then keeps the cover shut whilst the padlock provided is fixed into position.
In our experience of selling these popular covers, they fit over 90% of the radiator valves currently in use in the UK.
3-digit combination padlock
This version of the radiator cover comes with a robust, three digit combination lock. As the lock has 1,000 different combinations, it is very difficult to crack if you do not know the right number
Things to check before buying:
- Is there a gap of an inch/2.5cm between the valve and the wall (any less and it probably will not fit)
- Is the combined height of the valve and nut underneath either 8.4cm / 3.3 inches or less? (any taller and it will not fit)
- Is the pipe underneath the valve and fixing nut less than 30mm / 3 cm / 1.18 inches?
Who should consider buying this locking cover?
- Households that are trying to reduce their bills
- Schools, hospitals and other large buildings
- Landlords trying to stop escalating heating bills
- Parents and carers of autistic children and children with other additonal needs
- Carers of elderly and/or people suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's
