The Radiator Valves easily replace the majority of existing TRVs to give you the ability to schedule each room independently, without any plumbing being required.

All devices which control the heating in individual rooms and are purchased as part of a system direct from Genius Hub, such as Underfloor Receiver Units, Genius Radiator Valves or Room Sensors, are labelled with the room they control and are pre-linked to zones on the app. |
Each Radiator Valve comes with two adaptorsadapters. The two adaptors adapters fit the Radiator Valve onto either an M30x1.5mm thread (the UK standard which fits most brands of TRV) or a Danfoss RA fitting (the adaptor adapter with the grub screw). To To mount the Radiator Valve:
...
Remove the
battery cover by compressing the catch at the bottom of the valve, and hinge the cover up and away from the valve.Pagebreak Place 2 x AA batteries in the valve, a temperature should appear on the screen.
Info The batteries should be positioned as per the diagram in the back of the valve, with the batteries facing opposite directions.
Press and hold the middle button for 3 seconds until an 'M' appears on the screen, then press the middle button once more. The 'M' will begin to flash on the screen, the valve will buzz and the plunger in the underside of the valve will retract. The valve is now in Mount Mode.
Note The Valve must be in mount mode when being attached to the radiator.
- Remove the
existing TRV head (this is the part which turns and normally has the number 1-5 on it to regulate the temperature) from the radiator. Usually this requires loosening a nut between the TRV head and the
basevalve body (the part the water flows through)
.
Screw the valvePagebreak . Fasten the new adapter to the TRV body on the radiator. Screw the adapter down onto the
radiatorTRV body if using the M30 x 1.5mm
adaptoradapter, or attach the RA
adaptoradapter & valve onto the radiator & tighten up the grub screw using a 2mm hex (Allen) key.
The image below shows the M30 adapter being fitted.
Info If using the Danfoss RA adapter make sure that the grub screw is done up very tight as the adapters can work loose over time, which stops the Radiator Valve being able to shut off the flow of water to the radiator, causing the radiator to heat up when it is supposed to be off.
Pagebreak Remove the battery cover by depressing the tab at the back of the valve, and pull the cover up and away from the valve.
Place 2 x AA batteries in the valve, a temperature should appear on the screen.
Press and hold the button for 3 seconds until an 'M' appears on the screen. The 'M' will begin to flash on the screen, the valve will buzz and the plunger in the underside of the valve will retract. The valve is now in Mount Mode.
Note The Valve must be in mount mode when being attached to the radiator.
Pagebreak Screw the valve down onto the adapter.
Press and hold the Press and hold the middle button for 3 seconds until the valve starts to buzz and a temperature appears on the screen.
This takes the valve out of Mount Mode.Info - If you want to get the valve as tight as possible onto the valve body, you need to remove the cover to access the button (which is beneath the button you press from the cover). If you press this button on the valve hard while tightening the valve onto the radiator you will be able to get it tighter, reducing the chances of the valve not being able to control the radiator properly.
- Sometimes
Info Sometimes - when you press a button on the valve it can take 30 seconds for the screen to react. This is normal as the valve may be communicating with the Genius Hub at the time.
