Asked to price for fitting thirty "Quality" TRVs and lock-shields with drain points has anyone seen any good deals on your rounds to the merchants?
Thanking you in advance for any advice offered.

I use the cheap ones ( no surprize there then) and in all the time I have done never had a problem, a cheap one is £6 a dear one is £20 they both work, people buy dear valves thinking they are better, if they work you can't get better than that, is my thoughts,  |

I always fit Drayton RT 212 or TRV 4 if the customer has a preference
I have at least 12-off those screwfix ones in my shed doing nothing never really like to fit them....
They came free with rads from screwfix that's why I have them..........

the thing I don't understand about the free screwfix valve is, they give you the drayton valves that cost £15 and not the cheap £5 ones, there must be a message there for us all,
qwerty

The jobs with plenty money on them seem to go for Dandfoss TRVs but I've never found them that special, unless I'm missing a serviceability issues, like incert replacement being worth the effort?

I fit the cheap ones unless customers want to waste their money on dearer ones , they all do the same job and let's face it there ain't much to go wrong and I've never had a call back on cheap valves. Same applies for taps they all do the same thing.  |

most people think that quality costs more, and to be fair it usually does, but as you say PB a valves a valve, it opens and shuts, like you I use the cheap stuff but experiance teaches us, there's cheap and there's silverline,  ,,,you have to know where the boundries end, |
