You might need them on some installations, e.g., serving secondary heating zones. One I had was a thermal store serving a HWS storage cylinder & with a mid position valve. The mid-position valve was normally open to the HWS with the power off; gravity circulation caused the HWS to overheat. It wouldn't happen with a simple boiler, because there's little heat stored. I fitted a swing-check non-return valve to stop it. No effect at all. With hindsight, should have been a spring check NRV. Changed the 3-port Y plan to 2 off 2-port zones S-Plan valves, both normally closed; problem solved. |
