Same as a standard tap.

Take a look at http://www.diyfaq.org.uk/plumbing/rad-balance.html first.

Yes

It's also worth remembering that they only control the flow over about
1-1/2 or 2 turns max.

After this yrear's refurbishment I found my index rad - the one with the
highest temperature drop with all valves wide open, left the lockshield on
that wide open and screwed all the others down to one turn.

Got me damn close to right in one hit - after last years agonising, and
forgetting to leave that index rad valve wide open, I'd do it this way
every time.
