Manual radiator valves
Manual radiator valves are the classic choice for homeowners who prefer a simple, no-fuss way to control how their radiators heat up. Designed for straightforward functionality, these valves allow you to manually turn your radiator on or off by adjusting the valve – much like a tap – without setting a specific temperature.
At BestHeating, you will find a wide selection of manual radiator valves in a variety of styles and finishes, so you can complete your heating setup in a way that looks just as good as it performs. From minimalist black and chrome designs to vintage-inspired crosshead valves in gold, brass, bronze and more, there’s something to suit every radiator and every space, in every style.
Why Choose Manual Radiator Valves?
Manual valves give you total control over the flow of hot water into your radiator. Unlike thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), they don’t self-regulate based on room temperature. Instead, you decide when the radiator is on or off – making them ideal for spaces where consistent heat is needed or where your thermostat handles overall temperature regulation.
These valves are especially useful in areas like hallways or cloakrooms where heat settings don’t need to change frequently. And thanks to their uncomplicated design, they’re often more compact – a great option if you want a cleaner, more minimalist finish.
Stylish Finishes to Suit Your Home
As with all our valve ranges, our manual radiator valves are available in a variety of stunning finishes to complement your radiator.
Choose from -

Whether you’re upgrading an existing radiator or finishing off a new installation, these valves add the perfect finishing touch.
When Would You Need Manual Radiator Valves?
Manual valves are compatible with most radiators and towel rails. You’ll just need to match the valve type (angled, straight, or corner) to your pipework layout and radiator inlet position. If you're unsure which type to choose, our radiator valve guide breaks it all down.
Still deciding between manual and thermostatic? If you want a cost-effective, durable option that gives you full manual control, these valves are a reliable choice.
