1 pipe system. Can the TRV vent be installed at an angle ? As compared to straight up. There is a big table real close to the radiator.

    Nope

    Its gotta be the same as what the instructions say.  I have a Danfoss.  Their instructions told me to install it like this.

    What's in the way?

    If the sensor knob is in the way you can try the wall-mounted dial and sensor model; it might give you clearance.

    TRV

    It's in an Antique store with a bunch of antique stuff on this big antique display table. It's like 3 1/2 inches from the Heat Timer air vent. Moving table and/or the radiator is out of the question. Remote might be o.k. .

    Elbow

    The instructions say you can't install the TRV adapter sideways to use a 90° vent, but I think it would be ok, if not ideal, to add a 1/8" elbow and nipples so the TRV assembly makes a left turn and juts out the front. you could give the elbow a very slight pitch above horizontal so condensate flows back into the radiator.
