Installation
Use the app
The Hive app will guide you through the install process step-by-step, including choosing the
right adaptor. If you want to install your Radiator Valve now then start by downloading the
Hive app:
Remove your old radiator control
Most radiator controls can be removed by unscrewing the valve securing ring.
If your existing control doesn't unscrew easily, set it to its highest temperature setting (eg “5”)
and try again. Be careful to only unscrew the control and not the valve body itself.
If it still doesn't unscrew, it may be stuck or might have a different locking mechanism. In
this case we recommend you contact a plumber for assistance.
If you see a few drops of water when you unscrew your old radiator control then your
existing valve body may be leaking. Valve bodies can often be tightened up, but some might
need replacing if they are leaking. We recommend fixing your valve body before installing
your Hive Radiator Valve. Get advice from a plumber if you’re unsure of how to do this.
Remember: If your radiator has manual (“+ / -”) valves rather than thermostatic valves (with a
numbered dial) then your valve body will need to be replaced before proceeding.
