Product Information

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. If the powerhead (actuator) can be safely removed from the valve body (see warning above about pre-1985 Honeywell valves) you can try to turn the spindle. You may need a tool unless you have strong fingers. You must also isolate the electrical supply before removing a Honeywell motorised valve powerhead. 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.

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. We find it is normally about 2.1kΩ (2100 ohms) if the motor is cold and up to 2.4kΩ (2400 ohms) if the motor is quite warm. I think that a reading anywhere between 2.0kΩ (2000 ohms) and 2.5kΩ (2500 ohms) suggests that the motor windings are probably OK. If the reading is many times higher than that, or it is open circuit, the motor has failed. 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. 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.

Delivery Time

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 When using two 2-port valves, the control system may be known as a Sundial S Plan system or a Honeywell S Plan system. Much of what we describe also applies to ACL Drayton motorised valves like the Drayton 2-port ZA5/679-2 22mm zone valve and the Drayton 3-port MA1/679 22mm mid-position valve. Iflo motorised valves and British Gas motorised valves have similar faults. It may also apply to the Tower VAL222MV motorised valve, the Siemens CZV222 motorised valve and the Flomasta 27900SX motorised valve.

V4043H1080 is a 2 port, 1” BSP Female threaded, 6-wire, normally-closed zone valve with an auxiliary end switchIn medium sized or larger properties, using a combi boiler, there may be an additional zone valve external to the boiler which allows the heating to be split into two zones. Both of these genuine SYNCHRON motors work in Honeywell motorised valves. The motors SYNCHRON make specifically for Honeywell come with two blue wires 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! 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. Honeywell 22mm zone valve operation (V4043H1056) 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
