Fitting Danfoss radiator
thermostats

Built-in sensors

are best fitted horizontally so that the ambient air can
pass freely over the sensor without being affected by
heat from valve and possibly surface pipes.

Remote sensors
should be used when:
- curtains cover the sensor
- or the sensor is affected by surface pipes.
- It is necessary to mount the sensor in the vertical
position because of adjacent obstructions and the
valve body is flow mounted.

The remote sensor must be mounted on the wall, away
from curtains, or on the skirting board beneath the
radiator if free of surface pipes. All remote sensors are
now supplied with ultra-thin capillary. Simply pull out
the length required (2m max.) and fix using clips
provided.

Remote temperature adjuster

is ideal for use when the valve is positioned inaccessible
to the user. The temperature adjuster should be
mounted 1.5m above the floor.

IMPORTANT

Do not use RA 2000 sensors with RA-FR reversible
valve bodies.

Changing the gland seal

Data Sheet

Radiator thermostats for one-pipe and two-pipe systems

Should the valve body gland seal shows signs of
weeping, the gland seal can be renewed in a few
minutes with the system in operation.

Order gland seal 013U0070 for RAVL and RAV
valves. 013G0290 for RA-FN and RA-G. (Sold in
packs of 10 units, complete with instructions).
