Does anyone know of a TRV that would be suitable for using on Sunrad type hot water radiators?

Thanks

    Use one with a remote sensor

    so you can mount the sensor in the room, and the valve can go wherever it has to go. All the major TRV makers sell this type of sensor.

    I suppose..

    ...that's the only type to use. I've retrofitted them on free standing rads with the remote sensor outside the cover and the sensor & wire kind of exposed. I've never tried to use them on a new job and conceal the tube going to the sensor. I'm afraid it'll get ruined during the construction. Actually I'm sure it will :-)

    Maybe I'll give a couple a try. Thanks.
