The importance of being able to replace the screw when the system is working

When it comes to maintaining heating systems, convenience and speed of intervention are key factors, especially when working in residential or public environments.

In these contexts, one of the most wear-prone components in a system is the radiator valve screw.

The radiator valve, an essential element that regulates the flow of water in the radiator, can deteriorate over time, especially in the presence of ‘hard’, i.e. mineral-rich water. 

The quality of the water can affect the performance of this component, causing scaling or blockages that reduce its efficiency.

The Luxor solution

Luxor thermostatic valves are designed to function even in aggressive environments, thanks to careful design studies and the reliability of the materials used.

Even when maintenance is required, you can intervene quickly and effectively.

In fact, Luxor thermostatic valves are designed with innovative technology that allows you to replace the control screw while keeping the system running.

A winning solution, especially in situations where switching off the heating would be problematic, such as in apartment blocks, public buildings or large residential complexes.

Switching off a heating system, draining the water from the radiators and resetting the system can be time consuming and inconvenient, especially during the winter months.

In a context such as residential or public buildings, where tenants and users expect maximum comfort, the ability to keep the system running during the replacement operation is therefore crucial.

How the Luxor quick-change system works

To meet the needs of plumbers and installers, Luxor has developed a system that allows the screw to be replaced simply, quickly and safely.

The operation can be carried out with the system running using the CH 111 wrench, a tool specifically designed for this type of operation.

In just 3 minutes, you can replace the defective screw with a new one, without blocking the water flow in the system.

This solution is particularly useful in centralised systems, where shutting down the entire system would result in an interruption in heating for all users. 

With Luxor solutions, you can work directly on the individual radiator concerned, keeping the interruption to a minimum.

The benefits of Luxor technology

With Luxor thermostatic valves you will be able to restore the functionality of your radiator quickly and easily, preserving your living comfort and minimising inconvenience during maintenance.

The reliability of the components, combined with the ease of use of the CH 111 wrench, provides a convenient and safe solution for plumbers and installers to carry out fast and effective maintenance.
