I have 2 radiators in my kitchen which both have TRV's fitted.
I need to replace 1 of the radiators and purchased a hydronic plinth heater which will activate when ever the central heating reaches 40deg.

My question is how do i control the heat output from the heater as there is no obvious place to fit the TRV.
Can i pipe the heater in series with the 1 remaining radiator so the TRV on the radiator would control the flow of heating water to the radiator and heater?

Thank You
 
you need a thermostat control in your room to turn your plinth heater on and off. Have a word with an electrician.

Don't run in series - you might as well remove the other radiator as do this.

You might get away with fitting an inline TRV with remote sensor connected by a long capillary so you can put the sensor elsewhere in the room.
