The only additional thing you need to consider when purchasing radiator valves, is whether you would prefer a THERMOSTATIC valve or a NON-THERMONSTATIC valve.

What is the difference?

Thermostatic: Thermostatic Valves have number settings to control the level of heat. Number 1 being the least warm, up to Number 5 which is very toasty.

Non-Thermostatic: These valves are plain/discreet and are used for the inlet and outlet of water, but CANNOT control the heat setting.

A popular customer choice is to have a thermostatic valve at one end & a non-thermostatic valve at the other. See the example image.
