When a radiator valve is connected to a radiator, you can use grips to move it to a connector on the same radiator or another radiator. If you move the valve to a connector on the same radiator, connections to pipes are maintained if possible. If you move the valve to a connector on another radiator, connections to pipes are not maintained.
The type of grip used to move a valve depends on how the valve is connected.
- Location grip: Visible when the valve is connected to the main run
Use the location grip to move the valve to the same or a new radiator, maintaining the connection to the main run.
- Alignment grip: Visible when the valve is not connected to the main run
Use the alignment grip to move the valve and align it to another connector.
