However, if you need to replace the motor it may be easier to remove the powerhead so you can work on it in the open. Remember, on early Honeywell motorised valves (pre-1985) you can’t remove the powerhead without draining down first!

These valves have compression pipe connections, though Honeywell make motorised valves with threaded connections too. How motorised valves are used Slide the blunt end of the motor sideways until the flange comes out from the tab holding it down. This can be a bit of a fiddle. The motor then comes free of the valve, held only by the two wires which connect it electrically. These two wires may be blue (in a Honeywell original Synchron motor) or orange (most replacement Synchron motors).When using a 3-port valve, the control system may be known as a Sundial Y Plan system or a Honeywell Y Plan system. The commonest fault with Honeywell motorised valves is motor failure. Honeywell valve motor fault? Testing a Synchron valve motor Correct. I've not really got access to hot water. I say not really, as the boiler will run for ~10 mins, then the overheat light will come on, and then banging will occur in the pipes. This banging occurs due to air in the pipes. If I goto the loft and bleed the top-most valve the banging will go away. I can then use the HW again but I end up having the same problem. This banging occurs due to air in the pipes. If I goto the loft and bleed the top-most valve the banging will go away. I can then use the HW again but I end up having the same problem." When the programmer and stat send a Live feed to the 2-port motorised brown wire, the motor drives the valve open to allow water to pass. When the valve is fully open, the end switch closes, allowing electrical current to pass from the grey wire to the orange wire and from there to the boiler Switched Live. Unless the boiler thermostat is already up to temperature, the boiler will now fire.

Honeywell V4044C1288 22mm 3-port diverter valve. This valve is not a mid-position valve. It opens either Port A or Port B (usually heating and hot water). Apart from the few moments when it is switching between ports, Port A and Port B are not open together. Note that it is a 3-wire valve, not a 5-wire valve You should be able to feel a bit of spring resistance, right at the far end (Man Open end) of the slot. Move the valve’s manual lever to the manually open position. (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.) The electronics in Honeywell motorised valves tend to be quite stable and show relatively few faults but the motor may fail after years of operation. Honeywell use Synchron motors and these are freely available but there are lots of cheap cloned motors out there. These look identical but, instead of the name SYNCHRON, they use the word Synchronous. The V4043 series of 2 port Motorised Valves has a wide range of flow control applications in domestic and light commercial central heating systems. The V4043H normally closed models have end switches for electrical control of pump and/or boiler.If you know how to work safely with mains voltage electricity, the valve motor can be tested with a multimeter. With the mains electrical supply turned off and isolated, the resistance across the two motor wires (either both blue or both orange) can be tested. To test correctly, at least one of the two motor wires must be disconnected from the heating wiring circuit.

I Have tested the wiring from the Thermostat through the wiring centre to the valve wiring where the light brown wire becomes live when thermostat is turned but the orange wire does not go live? I have placed the valve manually on open. There are lots of poor quality synchronous motors out there. If the motor cap says “Synchronous” rather than “SYNCHRON ®” it may cost less than half but you’ll probably be changing it again before long! The Honeywell valves have a D-shaped top to the spindle but you can also use a spanner on this. If you do this, you must use very little force as it is very easy to shear a spindle or damage the valve internally.V4043H1080 is a 2 port, 1” BSP Female threaded, 6-wire, normally-closed zone valve with an auxiliary end switch The Honeywell 22mm motorised 2 port zone valve has a wide range of flow control applications in domestic and light commercial central heating systems. V4043H (normally closed) models have end switches for electrical control of pump and/or boiler; the V4043B (normally open) model is particularly suited to control solid fuel systems, as it will always fail-safe in the event of a power failure. The Honeywell V4073A is a spring-return valve. Port A or port B can be closed by a rubber ball, though never both at the same time. The rubber ball is moved between ports A and B by an actuator shaft or spindle which is driven by the powerhead. The inlet port AB can never be closed; the ball only moves between port A and port B.

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. Motorised valves are used to split or divert the flow. The heated water can either be sent to the radiators (or underfloor heating) or to the cylinder coil to heat the domestic hot tap water. The cooled circulating water is then returned to the boiler to be heated again.

Motorised valves are often fitted in tight spaces with limited visibility so note the orientation of the powerhead. As we’ve said above, Honeywell make a large range of motorised valves. The Normal state of a valve is the de-energised state. This is the state when no electrical power is being used by the valve motor. Honeywell 2-port motorised zone valves (V4043H) are electrically quite simple. The powerhead contains the motor, which is used to drive the valve open, and an auxiliary switch or end switch.
