To set the thermostatic radiator valves.

With the room at the desired temp, listen to the flow of water through the
valve with the stethoscope. Slowly turn the valve down until you hear it
just come to a stop.

I find that about 1/10 of the rotation between the numbered divisions is
significant.


With the TRV4's, I find that you can feel the rotational resistance
change as you move it towards the point where it's pushing the valve
plunger closed, which is the current temperature.
