APPLICATION
The VT117 Radiator Thermostat senses the air temperature
around it and can limit room temperature by regulating individual
radiator output in wet central heating systems. Radiator
thermostats are particularly useful in taking advantage of
uncontrolled heat gains (e.g. solar gain or an open fire in a
living room).
According to Building Regulations Part L1 radiator thermostats
should be fitted “on all radiators except in rooms with a room
thermostat” to satisfy either Minimum or Best Practice
installations. The valve can be mounted vertically or horizontally
at either end of a radiator.
To work correctly, the VT117 should be installed to a two pipe
heating system and also have a free flow of air around the head
to sense temperature.

for quiet operation
Maximum Flow Temperature 120˚C
Hysteresis ≤ 0.6˚C
Nominal Flow Rate 200 litres/hour (+/-10%)
Seat Authority 0.88

■Dimensions (mm)
■Installation
The VT117 tailpiece has a 16mm square
section to enable a spanner to be used
to tighten the tailpiece into the radiator.
In order to function adequately, the
VT117 should not be installed in direct
sunlight, or obscured by furniture,
curtains etc.
The VT117D straight valve must be
installed so the water flow is in the
direction of the arrow.

■Flow Rate Chart
■Servicing
The VT117 has a removable
insert (V100U) that can be replaced.
The V100U insert also incorporates
the integral balancing device which is
adjusted by inserting a screwdriver in
the slot and turning. This acts to limit
the maximum opening of the valve.
