It’s unacceptable to be left without utilities for more than a few days without any work done towards removing the problem. If left without heating or hot water, or you’re experiencing malfunctions preventing your access, get in contact with your landlord.
After you remove the lid of the boiler, you have to locate the diverter valve mechanism. Run tap water on hot and observe the diverter valve. If you run hot water, the valve is supposed to close in order to divert it to the tap, meaning it should move. If you see no movement, then it’s stuck.
You should call a gas safe registered engineer if you need to replace the diverter valve or service the working parts of the valve after you’ve diagnosed the problem. It shouldn’t take more than an hour for this to be done on a boiler under eight years old, as parts should be readily available.
3 Way Valve Operation 3 way valves contain the same components as 2 way valves. What differentiates it from the 2 way valve is the use of an additional port. Like 2 way valves, 3 way valve assemblies can also be controlled by pneumatic or electric actuators.
To test if your zone valve is working, switch off demand for your hot water (you can do this via the timer – set Hot Water to Off). Now create demand for central heating – turn up the thermostat and make sure the timer is set to ‘On’ or ‘Continious’.
If power to the valve fails, it can be opened manually, allowing some circulation by gravity (Figure 4). The valve automatically returns to normal operation when power is restored. Each valve is controlled by its own thermostat.
It is only crucially important for a Taco zone valve. The system pressure is fine too so leave that alone. Those valves should last much longer than 2 years.
