Honeywell V4043H 1056 2 Port Zone Valve Normally Closed 22mm

Product Information

If fitted in a confined space, sufficient ventilation must be available to keep the valve within its ambient temperature range and access must be provided to remove the powerhead if necessary The Honeywell V4073A 3-port valve has five wires. These are blue, green/yellow, white, grey and orange. Note that the grey and orange wires are used differently from the grey and orange wires of the 2-port valve! A normally-open valve is open when no power is being applied to it and needs electrical power to drive it closed. The wires to disconnect are the two wires which run from the motor. On earlier motorised valves, these were both joined to other wires using metal crimps encased in plastic. On more recent valves, one wire is joined with a crimp and the other is wired directly to the electrical components of the valve. Motorised valves are often fitted in tight spaces with limited visibility so note the orientation of the powerhead.

If the property uses a combi boiler (rather than a heat-only boiler) the boiler will usually contain a diverter valve. In small properties there may be no other motorised valves. Both of these genuine SYNCHRON motors work in Honeywell motorised valves. The motors SYNCHRON make specifically for Honeywell come with two blue wires

V4043H1007 is a 2 port, ¾” BSP Female threaded, 5-wire, normally-closed zone valve with an auxiliary end switch

Honeywell Home 2 Port Motorised Zone Plumbing Heating Valve

V4043H1080 is a 2 port, 1” BSP Female threaded, 6-wire, normally-closed zone valve with an auxiliary end switch In larger properties, 28mm valves may be used (the 5-wire 3-port V4073A1088 and the 6-wire 2-port V4043H1106). The 28mm V4043H1106 2-port zone valve has a6 th wire, coloured white. This white wire might not be used. In that case it should be made safe electrically. 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.

A normally-closed valve is closed when no power is being applied to it and needs electrical power to drive it open. Occasionally we come across a Honeywell motorised valve where the powerhead jams but the spindle (actuator shaft) is still free. Where this happens it is usually with the valve jammed open. If all the power to the central heating system is turned off, and the manual lever is still loose across the whole slot, the mechanism may be jammed.

There is, however, more information the lever can give us if we know what we’re looking for. The lever pushes the valve open against the return spring. The valve does not pull the lever over towards the open end as the valve opens. In smaller properties there is usually one programmer which has two channels. One programmer channel controls the heating (radiators or underfloor) and the other programmer channel controls hot water. Where additional zone valves are used there will usually be another programmer or timer. Honeywell motorised valve construction A failed motor will prevent the motorised valve from opening but it is not the only cause of a valve failing to open correctly. After years of use, the O rings sealing the valve spindle (or actuator shaft) can fail. When this happens, central heating water will seep past and will corrode the metals. 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!System boilers may also have a diverter valve or zone valve built into them and might not have any external zone valves. V4044C motorised valves are 3 port diverter valves. They send flow to either the hot water port or the heating port but not both, except briefly during switchover. They are 3 wire valves. 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 V4073A 3-port valve never closes water flow through the valve completely. 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.

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. The blue wire is the Neutral, N. The green/yellow wire is the Earth wire, E. The white wire is connected to the wire from the room thermostat which calls for heating (radiators or underfloor). The grey wire is used to drive the valve to the Water Off position, in which only the heating port A is open; it closes port B. The orange wire provides a Switched Live (Switched Line) feed to run the boiler and pump. Drive spindle of a Honeywell motorised valve. It is accessed by removing the valve powerhead. Be warned, with Honeywell motorised valves made pre-1985 you have to drain down first to remove the powerhead! Nearly all Honeywell valves have a powerhead (also called an actuator) which can be separated from the valve body. The valve body is the brass casting which is bolted into the pipework.The auxiliary circuit (grey and orange wires) is commonly used to operate the boiler and/or the circulating pump. The auxiliary circuit could be set to work at a lower voltage than mains but it is normally carrying mains voltage. It works like this: One of the two wires, typically the grey, is connected to a permanent mains Live supply (about 230V AC in the UK). The other wire, usually the orange, is connected to the Switched Live feed to the boiler. The Honeywell mid-position motorised valve has three ports in a T configuration. Water enters via port AB. Water leaves by either port A or port B or by both at the same time. Port A is normally connected to the radiator circuit and Port B to the cylinder coil (to heat hot water). The circulating pump is usually connected to feed water from the boiler into port AB.
