Sorry, maybe a stupid question, but here goes anyway...

I am looking to buy one of these:
http://www.screwfix.com/p/danfoss-ra...me-angled-trv-
lockshield-15mm/49331
as I need a TRV and a lockshield for a new radiator.

However, I cannot see where the valve of the lockshield is... I can see
the housing in the photo, but is the valve usually included separately
in the pack, and assembled on the job (and for some reason omitted from
the photo(s))?

There appear to be two elbows, one for each end of the radiator.

The one without the TRV on should be the lockshield, I assume.


My assumption as well, but where is the valve?


What you see *is* the valve! See

Thanks - never seen one of these before - I am used to the ones that you
can adjust by turning it by hand.

According to the instructions: "Adjustment of the lockshield for
regulation and isolation is by means of a 6mm
Allen key socket in the valve body which is
normally covered and protected by a screw-on
brass cap."
