FAQs
What type of system is this valve suitable for?
This valve is a mid-position (Y-plan) valve, suitable for two- and three-port heating setups and compatible with most standard domestic central heating systems.
Do I need to solder the pipes when installing this valve?
No, the valve uses 22mm compression fittings, which allow for quick and leak-free installation without the need for soldering.
How often should I perform maintenance on the valve?
Regular visual checks for leaks and dust build-up are recommended. The actuator head is designed for easy replacement if it fails, extending the valve's lifespan.
What is the warranty period for this Pro Motorised Valve?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty details, as these can vary.
Can I replace the entire valve myself?
While the actuator head is user-replaceable, replacing the main valve body is a more complex task that typically requires a qualified heating engineer.
What does 'mid-position' mean for a motorised valve?
A mid-position valve operates in three states: fully open to heating, fully open to hot water, or closed to both. This allows for efficient control over which circuit receives hot water.
Will this valve work with my specific boiler brand?
The Pro 22mm Motorised Valve is designed for compatibility with most major boiler brands and standard wiring centers.
Troubleshooting
Valve not operating or responding to thermostat
Check that the power supply to the valve is connected and functioning. Verify wiring connections against the system diagram. Ensure the thermostat is calling for heat or hot water.
Leaking from compression fittings
Turn off the system water supply. Gently tighten the compression nuts. If the leak persists, the pipework or valve seal may be compromised and require professional inspection.
Noisy operation
A slight humming noise during operation is normal for motorised valves. If the noise is excessive or unusual (e.g., grinding), the actuator may be faulty and require replacement.
Inconsistent heating or hot water supply
Ensure the valve is correctly positioned for your system's requirements (e.g., Y-plan). Check that there are no blockages in the heating system. Verify that the thermostat settings are correct.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Ensures consistent heat output
Durable construction for long-term reliability
Easy to install, suitable for DIY projects
Compatible with most standard heating systems and boilers
Replaceable actuator head for simplified maintenance

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the power supply to the heating system is turned off.
Identify the correct location for the valve in your pipework, typically on the return pipe from the system.
Use the 22mm compression fittings to attach the valve to standard 22mm copper or barrier pipework. Tighten fittings securely but avoid over-tightening.
Connect the electrical wiring according to the manufacturer's instructions and your system's wiring diagram. Typically, this involves connecting to a standard wiring center.
Restore power and test the system's operation.
Compatibility:
Compatible with most standard 22mm copper or barrier pipework.
Suitable for two- and three-port heating setups.
Works with most major boiler brands.
Designed for integration with standard wiring centers.
Care:
Keep the exterior of the valve clean and dust-free using a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals or abrasive materials.
Periodically check the compression fittings for any signs of leaks.
The actuator head is designed to be replaceable if it fails, but the valve body itself requires professional servicing or replacement.
