Tado Smart Radiator Thermostat Compatibility Manual
Non-thermostatic radiator valves
A non-thermostatic or manual valve is a simple on/off valve that works like a tap. It regulates hot water flow to the radiator and changes the room’s temperature only when it is manually turned on or off. If you unmount the valve head of a manual valve, you’ll find that there is no pin that can be pushed in and out.
Unfortunately, tado° Smart Radiator Thermostats are not compatible with non- thermostatic radiator valves.
To be able to use tado° on your radiator, consider getting your valve replaced with an M30 x 1.5 mm thermostatic radiator valve.
How to find out if my radiator valve is thermostatic or manual?
The pictures below show a few examples of common non-thermostatic radiator valves:
Thermostatic radiator valves
A thermostatic radiator valve senses the room temperature and automatically adjusts the hot water flow to the radiator to maintain a constant temperature in the room.
The tado° Smart Radiator Thermostat works only with thermostatic radiator valves and it replaces your existing thermostatic valve head.
Please note: tado° is not compatible with return temperature limiter valves (RTL valves), which are mostly used for underfloor heating. This is because tado°, in combination with an RTL valve, will not be able to limit the hot water temperature for underfloor heating.
Please check the list below to find out if your thermostatic radiator valve is compatible with tado°, if an adapter is needed to install tado° on it and if we supply this adapter or not.
If your valve is not on this list or if none of the given adapters fit your valve, consider getting your valve replaced with an M30 x 1.5 mm thermostatic radiator valve.
Please note: While tado° works with a great range of thermostatic radiator valves, there may be a few that tado° currently does not support. In some cases, the compatibility depends on your complete heating setup. So please bear in mind that all information in this guide is indicative and, in no way, exhaustive.
