Rotarad™ is a unique, WRAS, KTW and ACS approved rotating radiator valve kit, which can be used on either new installations or retrofitted to existing radiators. It enables easy access behind radiators for cleaning and maintenance by rotating the radiator down to floor level without having to drain or turn off the heating system.

Rotarad™ features a patented rotating valve fitting, which is used to adapt standard radiator valves and can be easily fitted to any standard panel radiator. This allows the radiator to pivot along the axis of the radiator valves, without putting any strain on the pipework or fittings. Radiators then become more practical, as they can be lowered quickly, simply and safely without the risk of causing a leak or worse. A robust bracket holds the emitter upright and against the wall.

Rotarad™is fully compatible with Contour’s DeepClean range.
