Does the Netatmo NAV01 suit an open-vented system?

Yes — Netatmo TRVs work on both sealed and open-vented UK heating systems up to 110 °C.

Factory calibrated to 20 °C at setting '3' on the Netatmo NAV01. Re-check with a room thermometer after 24 h.

Should I fit a bypass?

Yes — always fit an ABV or a designated bypass loop to prevent pump dead-heading when all TRVs close.

How to Fit a Netatmo NAV01 TRV (UK)

The valve

The Netatmo NAV01 is a UK-standard 15 mm TRV with a removable sensor head. Confirm the valve body (angled or straight) matches your existing pipework before ordering.

Drain the radiator

Close the lockshield and old TRV. Loosen the radiator union at the tail. Drain 1–2 L into a shallow tray. Fit the Netatmo NAV01 body with new PTFE (10 turns) and torque to 20 Nm.

Fit the head

Push the Netatmo NAV01 head onto the valve pin with the digits facing outward. Rotate to '*' frost setting first to seat the wax element.

Bidirectional flow — the Netatmo NAV01 accepts flow in either direction.
Horizontal head orientation — never mount vertically or wax response is skewed.
Balance the system after fitting all TRVs — set lockshields for 11 °C DT.
