Valves for towel radiator when it's the safety radiator.

[Square Feet]

Hi, can anyone tell me which valves I need for a towel radiator that is used as the safety radiator in a combi GCH system?  All the ones I can find seem to be thermostatic which won't be what I need I think....

Cheers

So the radiator is always open when the CH is on?

 

The radiator would have just the normal lock shield valve and a manual valve. Or you add a automatic bypass valve between the flow and return from the boiler.

Hi John, thanks for your reply. Yes it's the one rad in the system that needs to always be on. I just wasn't sure what valves (if any) I needed to fit. It's going to be rented out and I don't want the tenant to be able to turn it off somehow.

 

So just something like these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384102627619
