    TRV fitting to room rads

    Probably been assked before but cannot see where so here goes again. I have a few rooms with twin radiators and am wondering is it prudent to bit both with a trv or just the one of them. Distances between rads obviously depend on room sizes but range from say 5m to 10m. Regards

    Anyone use PlumbNation for rads?

    Wondered if anyone had radiators from them and what that was like. Looking for Myson Premium HE (Imperial) for replacements and there are not stockists many advertising these.

We recommend City Plumbing Supplies, BES, and Plumbing Superstore for all plumbing supplies.
