Lockshield?
 

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

I am looking to buy one of these:
http://www.screwfix.com/p/danfoss-ra...eld-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?

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."

One of the reviews:
"...The 'chinzy' lockshield with the ¡hidden¢ allen key valve looks a lot
nicer than the white plastic knob of other valves. However, this might not
suit you if a disaster ensues and in a rush you have to find the correct
allen key!"

The hexagon cover is unscrewed and the valve is adjusted with a screwdriver.

But the whole point is that you *don't* adjust a lockshield by hand -
otherwise every Tom, Dick and Mary will be turning them on and off. You
turn them with a spanner when balancing the system - and then leave them
alone, fitting a plain cover which doesn't operate the valve.

[If not using TRVs, you may have an identical manual valve at the other
end of the radiator except that's it fitted with a knob which *does*
connect with the valve spindle, allowing it to be turned on and off by
hand.]
