Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Biflo 66 compatible with S-plan systems?

No, the Biflo 66 is designed exclusively for Y-plan systems using a 3-port mid-position valve.

Do I need a plumber to install this?

Yes, due to the requirement for both plumbing and electrical wiring, this should be installed by a qualified heating engineer.

Can I replace just the actuator head?

Yes, the actuator head on many Drayton units is replaceable without breaking the hydraulic seal of the plumbing system.

What is the primary function of this control pack?

It manages the distribution of hot water from the boiler to either the radiators, the hot water cylinder, or both.

How do I know if my system is a Y-plan?

A Y-plan system utilizes a single 3-port valve to manage both heating and hot water, whereas an S-plan uses two separate 2-port valves.

Troubleshooting

Heating is not coming on when requested

Check that the room thermostat is calling for heat and that the 3-port valve actuator is receiving power.

Hot water is cold despite boiler firing

Verify the valve is reaching the correct position and not stuck in a mid-way or heating-only position.

Valve making a grinding noise

Inspect the actuator for internal debris or signs of mechanical failure; professional replacement of the actuator head may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive pack reduces the need to purchase separate components
  • Tailored specifically for common Y-plan installations
  • High build quality ensures longevity
  • Streamlines the installation process for heating engineers

Cons

  • Not suitable for S-plan heating configurations
  • Requires technical expertise for proper wiring and installation
  • Compatibility check required for existing system controllers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For successful installation, ensure your heating system is currently configured for a 3-port mid-position setup (Y-plan). Always turn off the electrical power supply to the heating system before beginning installation work. The wiring must be performed by a qualified professional to adhere to safety regulations. Routine care involves ensuring that the valve actuator is kept dry and that the system water quality is maintained to prevent sludge build-up, which can impede the movement of the internal valve mechanism. Periodically test the system at the start of the heating season to ensure the valve actuator moves freely between ports.
