6. Instrucțiuni de utilizare
The COMAP FLEXODESIGN thermostatic valve automatically regulates the flow of hot water to the radiator based on the ambient room temperature and the setting on the thermostatic head.
6.1. Setarea temperaturii
- Rotate the thermostatic head to the desired temperature setting. The head typically has numerical or symbolic markings corresponding to different temperature levels.
- A higher number or symbol generally indicates a warmer setting, while a lower number or symbol indicates a cooler setting.
- The valve will then adjust the hot water flow to maintain the selected room temperature.

7. Întreținere
The COMAP FLEXODESIGN thermostatic valve requires minimal maintenance. Regular checks can help ensure its longevity and efficient operation.
- curatenie: Wipe the exterior of the valve and thermostatic head with a soft, damp pânză. Nu utilizați agenți de curățare abrazivi sau solvenți.
- Verificarea funcționalității: Periodically rotate the thermostatic head through its full range of settings to ensure it moves freely and is not stuck.
- Inspecție de scurgeri: Regularly check all connections for any signs of water leakage. Address any leaks immediately.
8. Depanare
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your thermostatic valve.
| Problemă | Cauza posibila | Soluţie |
|---|---|---|
| Radiator not heating or heating insufficiently. | Thermostatic head set too low. Valve pin stuck. Air in the radiator. | Increase the setting on the thermostatic head. Remove the thermostatic head and gently press the valve pin to ensure it moves freely. If stuck, it may require professional attention. Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. |
| Radiator is too hot despite low setting. | Thermostatic head faulty or incorrectly installed. Valve pin stuck open. | Check if the thermostatic head is properly seated. If the issue persists, the head may need replacement. Remove the thermostatic head and check if the valve pin is fully retracted when the head is removed. |
| Scurgeri de apă din conexiuni. | Conexiuni libere. Damaged seals/fittings. | Tighten connections carefully. Do not overtighten. Replace damaged seals or compression fittings. Ensure proper sealing tape or compound is used during installation. |
9. Garanție și asistență
Information regarding spare parts availability is not provided in the product details. For warranty claims or technical support, please contact your COMAP retailer or the official COMAP customer service. Keep your purchase receipt as proof of purchase.
Note: The product details indicate "Batterie(s) / Pile(s) incluse(s): Oui" and "Batterie(s) / Pile(s) requise(s): Oui" and "Composition de la pile: Alcaline". This seems contradictory for a hydraulic valve. It is assumed this is an error in the source data, and the valve operates purely on hydraulic force as stated in "Type d'alimentation: Alimenté par Force Hydraulique". No batteries are expected for this type of mechanical thermostatic valve.
