Angled radiator valves are typically used when the pipework comes from the floor, or from the wall directly behind the radiator. The angled design allows for a neat connection.
Straight radiator valves are used when the pipework comes up from the floor directly beneath the radiator. They provide a vertical connection to the radiator.
Corner valves are often used when the pipework comes from the wall, or runs along the wall and needs to turn a corner to connect to the side of the radiator.
H-Block radiator valves are a more compact solution, often used with modern radiators that have connections at the bottom, rather than the sides.
