Zone vales underfloor

[Matt0029]

Has anyone seen this configuration before with zone valves installing under the floor in the joist area with an access trap. Not ideal I know. Is for zoning a downstairs drop system and upstairs 15mm up though the floor. Boiler in the kitchen with pipes exiting upwards from the boiler via stand a stand of clip to the ceiling void. Another option is the zone valves above the boiler with a autobypass before. Thanks

Seen it once at my brothers in law’s house, not sure if he did it though, really old system.

Can imagine it wouldn't be great as would be a bedroom above. So would likely hear the zone valve opening and closing.

His is on the landing, boiler in kitchen tanks in loft, it’s only a 3 port anyway. If you can, get them above the boiler.

Thanks, yeah it's just not going to look the best especially with the bypass in the kitchen.

Perhaps some easily removable plywood boxing in?

I've done it as a last resort on a install but I look after their boiler and system in the last 8 years I have replaced it once . Kop
