ᐅ How do you call this fitting/valve/cap used to "shut off" a floor heating loop?

Hello everyone,

I would like to deactivate the underfloor heating loop in the basement hallway for the winter, meaning no water should flow through it. In the long term, using a "clamp" is not an ideal solution 😉 so I would need some kind of "cap" that can be screwed on in a way that the pin is permanently pushed in. How would this be properly done?

Maybe a rather silly question, but I just can’t think of the name or term to search for... 🤨 The thread diameter is about 30mm (1.2 inches), if that’s relevant.

Manual controller or actuator

Just add a valve and turn it off. Wasn't there one installed already?

You do know that you can also open or close actuator drives manually, right? This is usually explained in the user manual that your heating technician gave you. In my manual, it explains how to open and close them manually.

Two circuits are controlled by one thermostat, so I can’t really turn it down to zero... Or is that what you meant?

If there was an electric actuator on it --> cut the power?

Our towel radiator has a manual valve, I can take a photo 😀 but I don’t know what they are called o.O
