Hi I am a new member.
I am looking for some advice on whether some thermostatic radiator valves have been fitted correctly.
As part of a loft conversion the plumber fitted new radiators with thermostatic valves. I expected them all to be fitted on the inlet to the radiator, but I found that two were on the inlet and two were on the outlet. I found some instructions that were ambiguous but which seemed to suggest that the valves should be fitted on the inlet.
The plumber says there is no problem, but I have a feeling they should all have been fitted on the inlet side. Can anyone advise me what to look out for in the operation of a thermostatic valve incorrectly installed on the outlet i.e. would the valve fail to operate or operate poorly or what ?
Thanks in advance and apologies if this is question that someone has already asked.
