Abstract

Collar 16 is fitted to valve body 10 and is locked to the valve body with grub screws 14. Adjustable piston 18 is located inside the collar 16 and is set to the required height by adjusting screws 20 which are then locked by nuts 22. Valve head 24 is then fitted onto the collar16. The apparatus can be retrofitted to all manufactured types of thermostatic valve bodies that are fitted to all central heating systems, and different size piston stems can be accommodated by the adjustable piston 18.

Description

1 2458185 Thermostatic Radiator Valve Replacement Heads This invention relates to apparatus for repairing existing valves.
At the present time the thermostatic valves on central heating systems have heads that only fit valve bodies of the same manufacturer. Such heads have been found to be easily broken, removed and lost. This exposes the valve piston and could constitute a danger to safety and loss of room temperature control, leading to a considerable amount of wasted energy. Identification of existing valve bodies is very difficult.
According to this invention, an apparatus is provided for converting all types of existing valve bodies to accept one make of head. The said apparatus comprises a means for locking on to the valve body, together with an operating component for engaging the existing valve piston.
An embodiment of this invention will now be described by way of example only.
With reference to the accompanying drawings (not to scale): The single figure, which is an exploded view in part section of the apparatus according to the invention, together with a valve body. Referring to the drawing figure one: Valve (10) of a conventional thermostatic valve body, used with central heating radiators for example, has an upstanding piston stem (12). In this embodiment, the valve (10) is considered to be an adjustable valve, and for the purpose hereinafter will be described as such. A collar (16) is fitted to valve (10). This is then fitted flush to the main body section then locked to the valve (10) with grub screws (14). The adjustable piston (18) is located inside the collar (16), the piston (18) is set to required height by adjusting grub screws (20). The grub screws (20) are locked into position by nuts (22). The head (24) is then fitted onto the collar (16). Z.
