“This is my second Honeywell Zone Valve I've had to buy in less than three years with a brand new boiler, to replace ones that had the motor blow out. No way should they be breaking down with such frequency, and are obviously made to shoddy quality standards...”
“Over the last 40+ years, I've installed hundreds & hundreds of all the variations of this valve. (Some have slight differences, such as lead wires instead of a terminal block.) I've encountered very, very few failures. End switches occasionally fail- but that's very rare...”
“I used these to replace 30+ year old sticky and leaking valves. If you worry about heat damage when sweating it's easy to remove everything from valve body.”
“I haven't used this zone valve yet as I bought it to have on hand as a backup standby. It's always good to have a part on hand on those cold nights when you need it most! This practice keeps an unhappy Mama at bay!!”
