A motorized valve in one of the zones of the central heating system at home is faulty.

It is always open, even when no power is applied to it.

It is the well known HONEYWELL 22MM 2 PORT ZONE VALVE V4043H 1056

I have removed the power head and can close the valve by manually turning the stem that is exposed when removing the head.

The problem is that it seems that, to close the valve, I need to turn the stem more than the motorized head does. When I have tried a new head the valve still remains enough open when the head has returned to its closed position to allow hot water to the radiators.

Is there a known issue?

Is there a way to get this valve fixed without changing the body?

I do want to avoid changing the body because it requires draining the system (freezing pipes is not an option). It is a large system with over 30 radiators, and this valve is on the ground floor.

Thanks,

Antonio

**** knows. Perhaps you should ask on the "forum" that you're having the
problem with, rather than on a usenet group?

You are posting to a Usenet newsgroup - it hasn't got a moderator.

DIY banter is just an advertising portal that leaches postings from
other sources.

Well, some have, to be fair. But even there, a moderator cannot reliably
cancel a post as most servers ignore cancels since the grate cancel
wars, or something...

Yes...

I think the OP doesn't get it...

I was just wondering too. The one piece of vital info is not present!

And yet he manages to post.

I think he's either a troll or a moron.

Ignore all the rude replies. To answer your question you need to click
on "Contact Us" on the DIYBanter.com website, because that is what you
are logging into. DIYBanter merely reproduces various usergroups, none
of which require logging into if you use a suitable newsreader (e.g.
FreeAgent), not a web browser. DIYBanter is not a forum in itself, and
does not have a moderator. If you have not had a reply via "Contact
Us", then you should find other ways to post to uk.d-i.y.

Hello Dave,

Yes, I don't know if it is the British way to be so childishly aggressive.

Anyway, I did try the Contact Us a couple of times.

It looks like I have to post with a new username and email. Which is quite inconvenient.

Thanks,

Antonio

What do you expect - you post a message to a USENET group that is out of
context (as in "log onto what") which itself is rude as it wastes
people's time trying to figure out what you want.

You'll find the (free) advice here generally very good if you
communicate clearly.

No username needed here ... though some will call you names.

BTW - this isn't a forum, maybe you posted in wrong place.
