Its commitment to innovation drives the company to develop new accessories and refine existing product lines, ensuring you have access to the most advanced and efficient components available. It’s time for you to choose Thorsys to be part of your sustainable journey.

Let’s take a closer look at what is on offer:

Filters & Pumps

Efficient circulation and robust protection are at the heart of every reliable heat pump system.

Magblu delivers both - compact, energy-saving pumps and powerful magnetic filters that keep your systems performing at their best. Complete the setup with the Europa 3 high-flow TRV for maximum efficiency.

Valves & Inlets

Every valve in the Thorsys range is manufactured from top-grade DZR brass for exceptional durability, making them suitable for indoor or outdoor use - even in the most demanding of conditions. A full selection of adaptors and alternative end connections is available to suit different heat pump types and installation requirements.

Valve Insulation

Navigator’s insulation jackets are designed for quick, easy fitting and built to withstand everything the Great British weather can throw at them. UV- and fire-resistant, they meet the latest EN standards for insulation performance, ensuring long-lasting protection and compliance.

Filling Loops & Air Vents

The Thorsys filling loop is manufactured with a robust stainless steel outer cover using WRAS-approved components and comes with a check valve made from DZR brass material and a 6 BAR gauge as standard. Complementing this, Navigator’s bottle air vents provide automatic air removal to maintain system efficiency and prevent airlocks, with simple servicing for long-term reliability.

Buffer Tanks

A buffer tank is a crucial yet often overlooked component in optimising heat pump systems. Acting as a stabilising reservoir, it helps balance thermal energy flow and prevents short cycling of the compressor, reducing wear and improving efficiency. Thorsys buffer tanks enable better load management, ensuring smooth response to fluctuating demand. This not only prolongs the lifespan of the heat pump but also enhances overall system performance.

Our advanced design improves on standard tanks with features such as high-grade insulation and a built-in port for a thermal sensor. A key advantage is bi-directional capability, allowing vertical or horizontal installation to maximise flexibility in tight spaces. Installing a buffer tank is a smart investment that boosts efficiency, lowers operating costs, and ensures reliable, sustainable indoor climate control.

Isolation Switches

Essential for safe maintenance and system protection, Thorsys isolation switches provide reliable power disconnection for heat pump installations. Available in multiple amperage ratings to suit different system requirements.

Rubber Mounts & Feet

Most heat pump manufacturers recommend a minimum ground clearance of 150mm. Navigator’s standard mounts meet this requirement with a 150mm height and include galvanised aluminium channels and fixings for secure installation. For locations where the ground is uneven, our adjustable rubber feet provide height adjustment and up to 15° angle compensation, with a built-in level gauge for precise alignment. These features ensure stability, reduce vibration, and make installation easier—even on challenging surfaces.

Brackets & Floor Stands

Practical and robust, Navigator’s range of THORSYS wall brackets, hook brackets, and floor stands is designed to provide secure, stable support for heat pump and chiller units. Each bracket allows easy, non-slip adjustment for precise installation and includes integrated vibration-damping devices to minimise noise. Adjustable articulated feet compensate for uneven surfaces, while corrosion-resistant finishes ensure long-lasting durability in all weather conditions.

Heat Pump Cages

Improve the aesthetic appeal of your installation while providing essential protection against vandalism, accidental damage, and harsh weather conditions. Thorsys protective cages are designed to safeguard outdoor units and can be supplied with advanced soundproofing options to reduce operational noise. Easy to install and built for durability, these cages ensure your heat pump operates efficiently and reliably in all environments.

Cable & Pipe Trunking

The Thorsys Black Line Ducting System is manufactured from high-sheen, impact-resistant eco-PVC and provides robust support for insulated hoses and cables. Each section clips together effortlessly for a fast, secure installation. Available in black as standard, with white or anthracite options to special order, the system includes tees, connectors, wall entry covers, elbows, and straight lengths to suit any configuration. Every component is protected with a removable film to maintain its premium gloss finish until installation is complete.
