Can a TRV be fitted to a towel radiator?

FAQ banner image

Yes.

A thermostatic radiator valve, or TRV, can be fitted to a towel radiator, and will provide the exact same functionality is it does when installed alongside a standard designer radiator.

However, it is best not to install a TRV on a towel radiator in your bathroom, as the steam and heat from the bath and shower can cause the TRV to malfunction and not operate correctly.
