A thermostatic valve shuts off by the liquid or wax sensor reaching temperature and expanding to push or release the pin that drives the valve close. All of BiWorld Fluid Controls thermostatic valves are fully manufactured in house and using liquid filled sensors.

A radiator valve is a control of flow into a radiator or heat emitter that is closed by a pin restricting the aperture of an inlet. When combined with a thermostatic cartridge the operation becomes automatic and it is not a manual operating valve. All of BiWorld Fluid Control thermostatic radiator valves incorporate a frost protection setting and are not a positive shut off valve, A fully positive shut off head is required and often called a decorators cap, these plastic caps screw fully onto the valve head and close the pin to stop any flow through the valve.
