Radiator Wall Stays should be fitted to all Cast Iron Radiators. As a general rule 1 radiator wall stay should be fitted for every 10 sections of radiator. Once a Radiator wall stay is fitted it cannot be seen from within the room, unless you bend down and look for it! If this is a problem for you then the wall stay can be painted in a matching colour. The wall stays are designed to fit most applications, they can be cut down in length to suit your application. The wall stay should be fitted near to the top of your radiator; this will give it maximum holding strength.

The following notes are to be read before fitting your valves
When screwing the valve tail into the bush - turn it finger tight then using a spanner turn it till there is only moderate resistance. Using a 4” (100mm) spanner it is difficult to over tighten. It is easy to over tighten and crack the bush with an 8” spanner. A thread sealant must be applied to the valve tail threads to get a water tight seal. Sealants are available from your plumbers, PTFE tape is an acceptable alternative.
It should not normally be necessary to unscrew the bushes, but if for any reason you do, retighten them gently, enough only to create a good seal. 18” Stilsons should not be used! The torque from an 8” adjustable spanner is more than enough to create a good seal.
