Default 3 way valve plumbed in wrong way round!

Idiot plumber has fitting a new valve B-A and A -B ie backwards!

Rather than drain down and refit, can i swap some wires over to reverse its
functionality to match its new orientation?

Cheers

Steve

Not without a lot of rewiring.

Just get the plumber back to fix the problem.

If you mean A connected to hot water & B to heating then yes
that is wrong.

The only answer is to refit the valve the correct way.
