Drayton: Providing dependable solutions for any installation thanks to complete valve range
W
ith over 75 years’ experience, Drayton is the manufacturer of choice for housebuilders and property
developers nationwide when it comes to delivering top-quality, dependable components that support effi cient heating system design and installation. Drayton off ers a comprehensive valve
range, including thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) – such as the popular TRV4 off ering, the RT range and a selection of auto-balancing TRVs designed to simplify system performance – and motorised valves.
TRV4 RANGE First launched in 1992 with the original TRV4 Classic, the range has expanded over the years to include the TRV4 Chrome (2002), TRV4 White (2013), TRV4 Anthracite (2020) and, most recently, the auto-balancing TRV4 introduced in 2022. Thanks to its outstanding quality, compact
design, and clean, modern styling, the TRV4 range has become one of the UK’s best-selling thermostatic radiator valves over the past 33 years. The Classic and White TRV4 models are Class
1 rated for effi ciency by the European Valve Manufacturers Association, positioning them among the most energy-effi cient TRVs available, which is an important factor in helping homeowners manage heating costs. Each TRV4 is engineered with a liquid sensor
for precise temperature control, non-stick internals for a more durable solution with minimal maintenance, and a double gland seal to protect against water leakage. A top seal also allows the valve to be removed and replaced without draining the system, while replacement gland seal kits are also available when required. Additionally, the plastic insert inside the valves prevents limescale in hard-water areas to ensure that the valve will open once it gets to heating season and the system is turned back on. The TRV4 range off ers a wide temperature
control span, from frost protection up to a maximum of 30°C. Range-limiting pins
are supplied with every valve, allowing homeowners to work with their heating engineer to set minimum and maximum temperatures if desired to reduce wasted energy and help keep bills under control.
RT RANGE Drayton’s RT range includes the RT212 and RT414, both accredited to BS EN 215. Ideal for entry-level installations, the RT212 features liquid sensing technology for accurate temperature control, settings from frost protection to an entire 1–6 range, and a positive ‘off ’ position achieved by turning past the frost setting. The RT414 builds on these features with an
ergonomically designed cap and non-stick internals, providing reduced maintenance requirements and a more durable lasting solution. A plastic insert helps prevent limescale build-up, ensuring the valve opens fully when the heating system is restarted. To allow minimum and maximum
temperatures to be set if the homeowner desires, both the RT212 and RT414 are also supplied with range-limiting pins.
AUTO-BALANCING TECHNOLOGY Auto-balancing options are also available across the TRV4 and RT414 ranges, helping to ensure homes benefi t from a well-balanced system, which can be achieved quickly and effi ciently. Once fi tted and set, which takes just minutes, the valves automatically regulate fl ow through each radiator based on system demand. This ensures consistent heat distribution
throughout the property, supports correct boiler condensing and maintains performance regardless of adjustments elsewhere in the system. Once the auto-balancing valves are installed and set, they will ensure that radiators permanently receive the correct fl ow rate regardless of other TRVs opening and closing or changes to the system. Proven to reduce energy usage by an
average of 8.8% and ensure there are no cold spots around the property, auto-balancing TRVs help lower household energy bills while
simultaneously enhancing comfort levels. To achieve optimum performance, auto-balancing valves should be fi tted to all radiators, including the by-pass.
MOTORISED VALVES Drayton’s motorised valve range includes both 2-port and 3-port options, making them suitable for Twin or Multi Zone S plans as well as Bi-Flo Y plans. Available in 22 mm and 28 mm sizes, all models feature ‘snap-on’ actuators alongside industry-standard dimensions and wiring, allowing for quick, straightforward installation. Designed and manufactured in the UK for UK
homes, Drayton motorised valves have been developed with ease of repair and replacement in mind, with replacement actuators and synchronous motors easily swapped to extend product life. Features such as spring return for tight shut-off , a manual lever and clear position indicator also simplify fault fi nding and commissioning. Precisely matched body dimensions make retrofi tting seamless, allowing like-for-like replacements. To save on installation time, Drayton’s
motorised valves are designed with industry- standard wiring and dimensions and include snap-on actuators that allow for quick fi tting, and can also be removed or repositioned without draining the system. Housebuilders and developers can also
rely on their proven reliability, durability and long service life, delivering peace of mind for homebuyers later down the line.
DEDICATED SUPPORT Drayton’s experienced sales team can help provide support and guidance to housebuilders and developers at every stage of the process. Meanwhile, its dedicated customer support team, based in Plymouth, is available to provide expert guidance and answer any questions during installation or for homebuyers at a later date.
