Thank you very much. I saved over $1000 replacing 3 zone valves myself. I bought 3 Honeywell V8043E1012 $210 with tax & free shipping. I left the old housing in place & replaced all the moving parts. It was easy & now should work for many years.

Fantastic, glad it helped you out!

Very good information I was getting ready to sweat the whole valve out. Changing the ball is easier.

Glad it helped. I just did a second one last week. They have lasted 30 years. One more zone to go, I have the part on the shelf!

If theres anything that living in Alaska has taught me, its how to be a better DIYer. Because most services charge an outrageous price, and a great deal dont do quality work. At least when you DIY, you have a vested interest in making sure its done correctly. Thanks for the vid.

Excellent video, great camera work as well as your explanation of the valves, motor and wires. I have a much better understanding of this system because of this video.

Good work, as an hvac tech who works with a lot of hydronic heating systems I’ve ran into the same problem too. Newer style zone valves a lot are better they don’t have that issueb

Thanks, seems like I get failures only during our -20F cold snaps!

As a fellow Alaskan, I think this is my baseboard issue too. Thanks for the video.

Nice system

Nice job for a non pro. Nice neat workmanship there. Want to ad though. Open that ball valve on the capped off branch. The ball face on ball valves will corrode if touching the water long term. Ball vales like to be open and only closed in the short term.

Thank you, makes sense!

Great video thanks. One doubt since my system is a bit different, do you have to drain a lot of water before opening the valve? Or as long as u close the incoming cold water and return plus the hot water and return, will it be ok to drain just few liters?

That's what I did. You may want to consider flushing the entire system if it has not been done in a while. I did mine not long ago.

Thanks for this video! I hope this is my issue and not something worse 😂

It may not even be as bad. If you are not getting heat to one zone, try replacing just the valve replacement head and not the entire valve. Good luck.

good morning if the zone valve make noise how to do ?

We have an issue that the thermostat says 73 but the house is cold. So the baseboards won’t turn on unless we put the temp up. Do you have any tips or advice as to what the issue could be

Sounds like a thermostat problem. I had one in my garage that I had to set to 90 just to keep it at 70. Test the real temp with a separate thermometer.

I need help. My 1st floor doesnt heat when thermo set to 75 for example. When I turn on the heat in the basement, than the 1st floor starts getting heat. Im confused why that is? Only basement thermostat will turn the heat on. Right now somehow the 1st floor is on, but some nights at 15 degree weather it doesnt heat with thermostat already set. I than go to the basement and turn on the basement heat to get 1st flr heat. Help please. I need to know if this valve may be my issue instead of the thermostat.

Do you have 2 zones? You can test whether the zone works by having someone turn up the thermostat and watch the valve open. You can also feel the zone pipes, if the valve is open it should be hot. My system only has 2 wires (heat only). I can check the thermostat by connecting the 2 wires together. If the thermostat is calling for heat and not coming on and the 2-wire trick works, it is the thermostat.

Both are hot and heat is set to 72ish on the first floor. 70 in the basement. Im not sure if theres 2 wires. I know it’s 2 separate valves labeled basement and 1st floor. My neighbors is on the other side of the wall. But on my side its 2 seperate honeywell valves in 2 seperate boxes identical to your setup. Its a gas weil mclain furnace. Heat is currently on and the switch on top is all the way to the right set to open. Just dont understand why I would turn on the basement to get heat on 1st floor.

@@Illmatic1989 Really odd. My advice is to call a repair guy and watch what he does to troubleshoot. Ask lots of questions about your setup and get your money's worth. Good luck, stay warm.

3 zone valves with 1 24v transformer. My coworkers making me look like dumb at work. The way they engineered hydronic systems was a crap at work. Hotel😂😂😂😂. A few believes. The engineers are rusty 😂😂😂😂. They don’t know basic electric currents and wattages😂😂😂
