RAS-C² radiator thermostats are designed for use
in 2-pipe domestic heating systems.
All RAS-C² Combi Packs comprise of a RA-FS
angled or straight pattern bi-directional valve
and a RAS-C2 sensor designed for 2-pipe heating
systems.
Combi Packs are also available with a RLV-D
lockshield valve or drain-o tailpiece.
The valves have a ½” BSP (R½”) tail piece
connection to the radiator and are available with
15mm, 10mm or 8mm compression tting or an
elbow with 10mm push-t tting to connect the
valve to the pipe work.
The valve bodies are reversible and bi-directional
and include a ow-selectable feature to ensure
trouble free installation without any risk of water
hammer. For optimum performance, Danfoss
recommend the sensor be mounted horizontal
where at all possible.
The valve is supplied with a protective cap, which
can be used for manual regulation during the
construction phase. The cap must not be used as
a manual shut of device.
RAS-C² sensors incorporate a “Frost Protection”
setting and a “Positive O” feature for maximum
user exibility. Temperature range is from 8°C to
28°C.
RA-FS valves must only be used with RAS-C2 or RAS-D sensors.

Quality Standards
All Danfoss RAS-C2² sensors and RA-FS
valves are manufactured to the highest
standards and are approved to the
European standard EN 215, which
supersedes BS 6284, 1983.
All Danfoss radiator thermostats and valves are
manufactured in factories, assessed and certied
by BVC (Bureau Veritas Certication) against ISO
9001 / BS 5750.

Water in the heating system must be in
accordance with the British Standard “Code of
Practise”. Should water treatment be used it is
essential that dosing of the manufacturer are
strictly observed. It is recommended that
formulations containing mineral oil are avoided.

Valve Setting
Commissioning the valve
The valve is a bi-directional valve with a ow
direction selection feature. This feature does not
have to be used, although we recommend that it
is set during system commissioning.
• Establish the ow direction through the valve
using the diagrams above, turning the setting
ring as necessary to ensure that water ow
through the valve is always in the correct
direction and the risk of water hammer is
eliminated.
