TRV and Manual Systems Valves

[Holly2011]

Hi All,
I have recently had my central heating radiators and a new boiler put in. I have added 1 extra radiator to my original heatging system by buying a tall vertical period style column radiator. I need to buy the angled radiator valves but I read in one of the posts here that it's now a requirement that all radiators have TRV. I want to buy a crosshead style valve (the ones that look like taps) but on looking at the details I saw this was manual and not thermostatic. My question is:

1-Does anyone know where I can get a matching crosshead TRV that I can fit on a column radiator?

2- In the room the column radiator is in there is already an existing radiators which will have a TRV, will it matter if manual valves are put on the colum radiator if I can't find the style I want in the TRV style? Would there be any implications? what would you all reccommend?

3-What have others chose in this situation?

Kindest Regards Holly

If it's your own house I would please yourself as far as rad valves go.

If your desperate to comply with the regs you could use your cross heads on the rads and fit a inline trv with a remote sensor on the pipework under the floor but i wouldnt worry to much

When I had my towel rail radiator fitted I didn't want a trv on it. So didn't have one fitted. It is one place where I don't mind wasted heat Especially as the storage tanks are above it..
