Changed my first 3 port today. And I did it like a man lol.
Threw the old boy into the loft and told him to keep an eye on the bungs.
Wet vac, few towels and it was done in a jiffey.
I'm not draining down at 6 in the evening on the way home.
Hello there,
Another plumbing conundrum for you to set your minds to.
My mates have just bought a house and the lovely sellers have left the heating/hot water in a pretty naff state.
The system is a 2x 2 port system.
The boiler is an old Potterson Netaheat mk2.
The programmer is a Boss therm...
Forgive me if this a really stupid question. Went to a call out on Saturday, customer had heating to all rads, but no hot water but the system had no 3 port valve, cylinder was full, but water cold, and primaries on cylinder cold Aswell, should there be a 3 port on this? The cylinder cupboard...
Hi,
Im new to this great resource and am hoping someone could help.
My CH and HW stopped working a few days ago, boiler (Baxi Solo3 PFL 40) just does nothing, the only light on is "boiler on" no clicks or anything.
My landlord sent a heating engineer around who just said it needs a 3...
Hi, tried this question on plumbing and no success yet, suppose I should have been on this forum. Have a problem with my mid pos valve. When I call for HW, CH, or both, all works as it should. But from the mid position when I call for CH only, the valve stays where it is, heating water when not...
hi there dose any one know the wires colours for changing switchmaster 2 port to honeywell v4043h
switchmaster colours i am not sure on are yellow red white
I was installing a heating system where I was running the hot water circuit as the last T. He asked me why I was doing it and then said that that was only applicable if it is thermo syhoning and on a 3 port valve. I told him it had nothing to do with thermo syphonng but the pump pushing it. Does...
Hi guys,

any one know if a honeywell 3 port head fits on a landis & gyr valve body?
it has had a replacement syncron fitted in the past which is a honeywell brand!.
thanks
Need to replace on of these and as they are no longer available is their a wiring combination to make a modern 2 port valve work on this system? Any advice most welcome
At a job replacing a cylinder and he mentions the boiler kept running even though the programmer wasnt calling. Apparently some history of the CH 2PV sticking on. I found it under some floorboards....nice. So even with the actuator closed, the switch is ON and therefore running the boiler (there...
Morning guys,
fitted two of the above yesterday without fuss until I refitted the actuators, then noticed that one of the manual override switch doesn't fully return to auto position when released from manual, works perfectly fine when not fitted to the valve body. Swapped them around and tried...
Evening guys hope your well ... Does anyone know if there is an issue installing the above on vertical pipework? Instructions only mention horizontal installation which has thrown me a bit, would not have thought there would be an issue but thought I'd check with you guys.
cheers
Hi I've a indirect vented hot water cylinder, just recently my heating and hot water hasn't been working, what was happening was when I called for heat for my rads the valve springs open but when heating off it doesn't close unless I switch the electric off and then it springs back. I've changed...
Hi guys,

No room stat
Could it be 3 port valve prob women was talking about cost so I need to be carefull about what...
Anyone got any suggestions why a new honeywell 3 port valve won't settle mid position without constantly moving between micro switches internally, causing a constant clicking every couple of seconds? Hot water only ok, heating only ok. All other external controls giving 230v when required (...
Ok so the 3 pot valve must be naffed. Stays in mid position when calling for hot water. But boiler won't fire when calling for just heating. I don't get 240v in wiring centre on stat. But if I put motorised valve in manual I get 240v
