What is BS EN 215-Thermostatic radiator valves about?
BS EN 215 discusses thermostatic radiator valves. BS EN 215 specifies definitions, requirements and test methods for thermostatic radiator valves referred to hereafter as thermostatic valves.
BS EN 215 applies to two-port thermostatic valves with or without pre-setting facility and thermostatic integrated valves with or without the pre-setting facility for fitting to radiators in wet central heating installations up to a water temperature of 120 °C and a nominal pressure of PN 10.
BS EN 215 further specifies the dimensions, the materials, and the connection details of four series of straight and angle pattern thermostatic radiator valves of nominal pressure ≤ PN 10. BS EN 215 can be used as a reference in a CEN/CENELEC Certification Mark System on thermostatic radiator valves.
Who is BS EN 215-Thermostatic radiator valves for?
BS EN 215 on thermostatic radiator valves is useful for:
- Heater manufacturers
- Thermostat valve manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 215-Thermostatic radiator valves?
A thermostatic radiator valve is a self-regulating valve fitted to a hot water heating system radiator, to control the temperature of a room by changing the flow of hot water to the radiator.
BS EN 215 gives you guidance on the requirements, dimensions, and mechanical properties of a thermostatic radiator valve.
BS EN 215 provides you with the tests to assess the thermostatic radiator valve in the water bath and air stream, it also includes testing of mechanical properties. BS EN 215 helps you manufacture high-quality thermostatic radiator valves.
