Is there a conventional (or significant?) configuration to position TRVs
on radiators with respect to the direction of flow through the radiator?
I am fitting TRVs which are bidirectional, and am putting them on
the end of the radiator nearest to the main part of the room, but still
have the option of which end of the rad to connect the flow and return.
Does it matter at all?

Thanks

Don't think it matters so long as they are fitted with the flow in the direction
of the arrow marked on them .


Stuart .
The earliest ones I had, in a previous house, were very specific in
which side of the radiator they were to be fitted and their orientation.
The ones I bought more recently for this house state clearly that they
can be fitted any which way, both in position and either inlet or outlet
of radiator. So I guess the answer depends on which TVRs you have. By
position and orientation I mean horizontal or vertical.

Does bi-directional not give a clue .? The make and model of the trv would be
helpful of course .
