In my flat I have two types of radiator valve, one that can be adjusted just by turning and a different type of valve (shown in pictures).

Sometimes I want to control the temp in different rooms. If I want to adjust the temperature on these radiators, is the only way to unscrew them and manually adjust the temperature with a spanner?

Thanks.
 
These are not much use i am afraid they are either on or off , you need thermostatic radiator valves fitted to have tempreture control. Cheers kop
