“I was looking for a zone valve control that could be mounted in a remote manifold location and that could communicate with a switching relay. This product does exactly that. It runs my 2 zones that each have multiple valves on the manifold and sends a signal back to the Taco 6-zone switching relay (SR506-EXP-4) that is in my mechanical room which controls the pumps and boiler. I have another 6-zone valve control located in a different remote manifold location in my house that does the same thing.”
“While the ZVC403-4 is a replacement for QVC403 (The picture is an older model ZVC403), it's got a few extra features, so download the manual to review while they delivers. Taco even made the holes to mount this in the exact same location and dimension so it was a direct swap out. Saturday 9 am I had diagnosed the voltage on my old ZVC403 was the source of my heating problems, by 8 pm they had delivered the package, and within 30 minutes it was installed and working like magic.”
“Every repair to our boiler made the jumble of wires worse. Decided to install smart thermostats which need a C wire. Put in the taco controller to fix both issues. Looks clean and any future repairs will be much simpler.”
