200 Thermostatic Radiator Valve Installation

sashagaertner — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 21:57:28 +0000

As announced in our memo of June 11th, Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) will be installed on all radiators in your apartment except those found in the bathrooms. A TRV is a self-regulating valve that replaces your existing manual radiator valve. It acts as a thermostat to control the temperature of a room. You need only set the TRV to your desired comfort level once and the self regulating valve automatically controls the flow of steam to that radiator. If you wish, the valve can also be shut off completely.

We expect to start installations in your building on Monday July 26th . The intention is to install at least 30 valves per day starting at the penthouse level and moving down the building three floors per day.

Glashow Plumbing, a trusted and regularly used plumber at Castle Village, will be doing the installations. The workmen will be accompanied by Castle Village staff during the installation. If you have elected to have water saving showerheads and aerators installed, Castle Village staff will mount them while the plumbers are installing the TRVs.
