TRV with remote sensor and adjuster

[eustache]

I have a radiator with old Westherm Four TRV which is going to have a settee close in front of it. It seems that replacing the TRV (head only if possible) with one which has a remote temperature sensor and adjuster would be good in terms of temperature control, and also access to adjuster.
Myson, Danfos, Honeywell and Drayton all appear to make what I need. Does anyone have any experiences as to which of these work well/badly?
Many thanks.

I've always used Myson or Danfos and both are as good. Danfos probably has the edge for me personally. You can get remote sensor with a normal looking TRV head on the valve or as I think you said a remote Head/Sensor that you fix to the wall away from the rad

You have two options

Remote head trv (etf2)



Drayton ETF2 Remote Setting Head Kit 2m Capillary - Heating > Radiators & Fittings > Other > Drayton ETF2 Remote Setting Head Kit 2m Capillary in at Berhams

Or

Remote sensor



Drayton TRV4 2m Remote Sensor Capillary 07 25 007

it would be the Remote head trv (etf2), which would let me see what temperature I was selecting (without hanging upside down over the back of the settee!)

Presumably I would need to get a matching TVR body?

Do you prefer the Drayton product?

Yes

And Drayton or danfoss for me (only reason I put up Drayton pics is that I had the pics )
