Radiator valves

[pubrunner]

Hi All,

I'll soon be buying an aluminium towel radiator for our bathroom.

Our plumber has said it will need inline (straight) valves.

My query is this; are valves 'much of a muchness' in terms of quality and materials ?

Should I go for valves made in stainless steel or brass ? or something else ?

Thank you for any guidance provided - which is much appreciated.

Not specific to radiators but stainless steel and aluminium reacts, I'd expect the aluminium radiator to have a coating on it to minimise this.

often the brand of the radiator will also sell valves....worth checking (although not mandatory)
