Replacement Synchronous Motor for motorised valves ACL Honeywell Landis Gye Satchwell Sopec Tower DIY Replacement 2-Port 3-Port Valve Failure

Product Information

The motor must then be wriggled back into place so that one of the motor flanges slides back below the angled metal tab on the powerhead. Travis Perkins were selling BOSS brand genuine SYNCHRON motors in the past but their web page photo now shows what looks to me like a cloned motor. To view the purposes they believe they have legitimate interest for, or to object to this data processing use the vendor list link below. Push it towards the MAN OPEN end of the slot and lift while releasing it, so it settles into the hook at the top of the slot. It is used to allow independent temperature control of both the heating and the hot water circuit where the installation has pumped heating but gravity hot water.

On modern Honeywell valves, if the powerhead fails it can be removed from the valve body without draining down. System boilers may also have a diverter valve or zone valve built into them and might not have any external zone valves. When the powerhead is lifted away from the valve body, the jammed mechanism may free itself and spring back into position.These 22mm valves (3-port V4073A1039 and 2-port V4043H1056) are used in smaller and medium sized properties. With very old Honeywell motorised valves the powerhead could not be removed without draining the water first. These two wires may be blue (in a Honeywell original Synchron motor) or orange (most replacement Synchron motors). Unless the valve is very old (pre-1985) it should be possible to remove the powerhead from the valve body without draining down.

One programmer channel controls the heating (radiators or underfloor) and the other programmer channel controls hot water. The auxiliary circuit could be set to work at a lower voltage than mains but it is normally carrying mains voltage. If it’s the other way round, and the 2-port valve controlling the hot water circuit is failing, it may be less obvious. With older boilers, the Live from the auxiliary circuit end switch goes directly to the pump at the same time as it goes to the boiler Switched Live.To test correctly, at least one of the two motor wires must be disconnected from the heating wiring circuit. When all electrical power to the heating controls is switched off, the spring pulls the ball across to close port A, leaving port B open. You should be able to feel a bit of spring resistance, right at the far end (Man Open end) of the slot.

So, if you set the system for Heating Only (Hot Water must be off or satisfied on the cylinder stat) the valve motor drives the valve to close port B while it leaves the heating port A open. In normal operation, with a heat-only boiler, central heating water is heated in the boiler and then pumped round the system by a circulating pump. Anyone who has been in this game long enough will know that the honeywell motorised valves are by far the most reliable, which is helped by their rubber ball technology as opposed to 'rotating shoe' type water sections.Be warned, with Honeywell motorised valves made pre-1985 you have to drain down first to remove the powerhead! This creates a living zone and a sleeping zone which both have separate time and temperature controls to improve energy efficiency.

If it has seized up you may be able to free it temporarily by gently moving it backwards and forwards but it will probably seize up again before long. If you can make a Honeywell 3-port mid-position valve move into all three of those positions, the valve and controls appear to be wired correctly and the valve appears to be working normally. When Heating Only is on, and then is switched off or the room stat demand is satisfied, a lower voltage of between 50V and 150V will remain on the orange wire.This should have left you with a failed motor which is now disconnected from the powerhead and can be discarded. As far a we know, Honeywell motorised valves which were made from 1985, and which carry the raised pip (small bump) on the top of the metal cover, allow the powerhead to be removed without draining down (see above). There is always an open pathway from port AB to port A or from port AB to port B or from port AB to both ports A and B at the same time. I am happy with that because snow is forecast this weekend but I just want to know if this fee is considered OK as I may need to use them again. Even though one valve only partly opens itself and is unable to fire the boiler, the valve on the other circuit can open fully and fire the boiler.
