Assuming you have a rad in that room, why not a combination gate

Not sure that I'd want to use a gate valve anywhere, judging by their
'performance' on open systems. Had more fail to work than have worked.


The gate valve on a rad is only to balance the flow. Works fine for that.
Although some these days are the same valve as you get with the TRV.
