Apex Round Manual Valves: Where Timeless Form Meets Modern Function

When your heating system requires valves that balance timeless round styling with reliable performance, the Apex Round manual range delivers both form and function. These valves feature the classic circular profile that has remained a heating essential, updated with clean lines and premium finishes suitable for today's interiors.

The Enduring Appeal of Round Radiator Valves

The circular design of Apex Round valves represents a proven approach to radiator control. Their familiar shape makes operation intuitive, while their construction from quality materials ensures dependable service. These valves maintain a discreet presence that complements rather than dominates your radiator's appearance.

Configuration Options for Your Heating Setup

Selecting the correct valve configuration ensures proper function and installation efficiency. The Apex Round range accommodates the most common plumbing arrangements found in UK homes.

Straight Pattern Valves

Ideal for situations where pipework emerges vertically from the floor directly beneath the radiator connections. This configuration works particularly well with towel rails and certain contemporary radiator designs where vertical pipe runs are preferred.

Angled Pattern Valves

The preferred solution for standard wall-mounted radiators with horizontal pipework. Angled valves create a neat 90-degree turn that conceals pipework effectively while maintaining optimal water flow.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

All Apex Round manual valves feature standard ½" BSP thread connections, making them compatible with the majority of domestic radiators available in the UK market. Their robust brass construction beneath the exterior finish provides corrosion resistance and long-term reliability.

Finish Selection to Complement Your Interior

The aesthetic detail of your radiator valves contributes to the overall cohesion of your room's design. The Apex Round collection presents multiple finish options to coordinate with your radiator style and decorative scheme.

Chrome: Delivers a bright, reflective surface that maintains its appearance with minimal maintenance. An excellent choice for bathrooms and kitchens where moisture resistance matters.

Brushed Chrome: Offers a softer, satin-like appearance that effectively conceals fingerprints and water spots. Its muted reflective quality suits modern living spaces and bedrooms.

White: Creates a seamless transition when paired with white radiators, allowing the valve to recede visually into the background for a streamlined appearance.

Black & Anthracite: These darker finishes make a definite style statement against light-colored walls, providing contemporary contrast that highlights both radiator and valve.

Installation Considerations for Homeowners

While replacing radiator valves represents a straightforward task for qualified heating engineers, understanding the process helps homeowners prepare adequately. Your installer will typically isolate the radiator from the system, drain it, then fit the new valves using appropriate sealing methods before repressurizing the system.

For complex heating systems or if unsure about any aspect of installation, consulting with a Gas Safe registered engineer ensures the work meets all safety standards. Professional installation protects your heating investment and maintains system efficiency.
