Default Anti gravity valves

In message , "Roger Mills (aka Set

Assuming your CH is pumped, an anti-gravity valve would certainly stop the
upstairs rads from getting hot by convection when the pump was off.

Ah ha! This might solve my problems too, since a mod to the pipe
routing in our house the upstairs radiators suck all the heat out of the
oil fired combi with the pump off with a detrimental effect on the time
to deliver hot water - is there an 'official' name for an anti-gravity
valve or is it simply a non-return valve. What would I call it if I
were to search, say, Screwfix.

Cheers,

Andy
