Those pumps dont come out that easy

Do you have a list of parts needed?

Thank you for the video my valve was leaking a service technician came to take alook .He is making it out to be a big job like cutting pipes when all you have to do is replace the rubber gasket and the face with a new motor

I checked our zone valve when the heat was not working. The lever at the bottom moves slightly but not to the full open position. For years it just stayed open when thermostat was turned on at all. Now it does not move more than 1/4 of the way to open and does not provide any flow. Does this sound like a seized motor or seized valve?

Explantory note from my last post: does it matter if the two yellow wires to the limit switch are reversed? Does it matter if the two red wires to the motor are reversed?

You did not discuss the polarity of the wires and whether it matters. Very disappointing. Everything else you discussed is already evident fron examination of the unit.

What kind of flux do you use ?

Great vid. Much Thanks.👋✌

Sir thank you so much for saving me $600 while I have a baby on the way.

I used Teflon tape and it’s making a whining noise, I wonder if it’s sucking air… Great video btw

Mine is leaking the gasket was blown out the side it looks bent I tried to put back together still leeks should I try to get rebuild with top plate of new zone

What’s the problem if the lever is just completely loose moving left to right

Great video! Zone valve is opening. Once Thermostat is satisfied, it sends signal to turn off but, valve is not closing. Once I tap on the valve housing, it will close and shut off the boiler like it should. The power head lever is loose and has no tension right before tapping. What are the odds that this is a bad power head and not a bad valve?

Where did you get the square gasket material from?

great video !!!

Good stuff!

Would have loved to see you use the new setting gauge that cane with the electrodes...

Thanks for the video. I'm curious what the expected lifetime of a zone valve has been in your experience. I've had one unit replaced by a local company three times within a fairly short amount of time: November 2021, January 2023, and now December 2024. I'm wondering if some other factor might be causing the failures. I've shared the concern with the short life experienced both today (December 2024) and the last time (January 2023). I don't think they charged me in 2023, but I'm not sure what to expect from today's replacement, and that the dang thing keeps having issues is beyond frustrating. I have a 3-zone system and I've had at least one of the others replaced over the years, but this is crazy.

Thk,you

Great leader

Hi, thanks for the great video. The part I needed the most help with is getting the air out of the system. You mentioned that “it was happening” but didn’t say how or where. Could you elaborate a bit? Thanks again!

IN CA, EVERYTHING CAUSES CANCER. DO THEY MENTIOM USA FOOD. MOST ADDITIVES CAUSE CANCER.

What model oil pressure gauge?

I have an oil line coming into the pump from the oil filter and 1 line back from the pump to the oil filter where there is a nipple so I can bleed the line. Bleeding works yet I am not getting any fuel to the nozzle. So it seems the pump is working (because the bleeding is working) but the nozzle is not getting any fuel. I cleaned the lines from the pump to the nozzle. Only opened up the pump where the pump filter is sitting and it looked clean. Isn't that weird? Or is this something that could happen? thanks.

Hi, I have the same thermostat, the TH4 HOME. If I want to upgrade to the pro version that has a WiFi control option, can I just plug the new head unit into the same base? They look practically identical.

I cant get the back off the old ones, theyre like crimped on. I cant understand how to use the metal rods that are included either. how to attach them? Therss only 2 little nuts

Im confused theres something crimped onto the back,i guess thats where the contact occurs but it appears crimped on

Nice 👍🏼👍🏼, what type of spray did you use to spray and clean the electrodes and other parts and what kind of red adhesive did you use in the door? Wish the guy I had work on my boiler last season would have done an outstanding job like you considering he charged me $225 to change the nozzle, filter and brush/vacuum the inside top of the chamber. Then because he didn’t vacuum the chamber a bunch of dirt came out throughout the winter coming from inside coming out around the floor. For that reason I’m doing do my own tune up this year. Got the supplies, just need an ash vacuum.

Great video!! Thank you so much!

Thank you for your several videos on this topic. My system has been behaving poorly since we bought the house, but I left it alone because it mostly "worked". This fall the boiler wouldn't fire and the circulator pump would not run. After my first round of troubleshooting I found that two zone valves had been wired into the open position after being forced open. Those valve motors had stripped gears. Only the third zone had actually been working properly and it had been wired to a thermostat in a different zone. This one had a burned out end switch which was why the system would not fire up this fall. Consequently, the bedroom zones would get hellishly hot while the other areas of the house got very little heat. Anyway, thanks to your videos I've now replaced a dodgy switching relay and have one of the three zones working properly. I have the other two wired up, but because the valves themselves are stuck, I need to wait for two rebuild kits.

Well explained and helpful video

Awesome video. I’m gonna do this to my boiler. It’s dirty. I have those side covers under a door but they have been sealed with boiler cement ? But I can take off the chimney and remove the top cover like you did and get it from the top. But I can only spin mine to the side because there is a pipe going right through the center of it😂😂

How much for this service? We v-15a-t boiler

I never had a boiler before and am watching videos about them and baseboard heating before moving to Alaska. 👍👍 FJT.

Great explanation. Many thanks.

Should the fan blade spin freely while the pump is still connected?

Thanks for your great video 👌

Do the F turbinator heads always come off the nozzle assembly so easily? Loosen one screw and give it a wiggle and a pull? Are they all held on by friction alone?

Your helper is awesome. Thank you. Great content. Appreciate you sharing your expertise.

If I change the motherboard does it need programming ?

I have the same attachment foe my ash vac i use on my pellet stove except the bristles are a wire brush instead of plastic. Should work mint for doing my furnace. Isn't there a few other things like adjusting the fuel ratio and checking the co2 being released or something? And also ik you gotta use Chimney Sealant stuff, kinda like mortar around where the exhaust flue meets the actual chimney, also how frequently do i need to clean my actual chimney for my furnace? Idk if ive ever seen my plumber do that, he has however cleaned the exhaust flue that goes from the furnace to the chimney. And last question, also how do you adjust the oxygen ratio and air intake vent? Is there anything you even have to do there and if so how frequently?

3 years later. What an excellent informative video. Thanks from the UK.

This a great video for that 'headache' thing. Thank you.

Hi what type of screws holds the motorized valve to the frame i tried a philips but i cannot get really tight.

What happened to the programming link?

What is the large piece that you are working on that it's connected to called? Just called an oil burner?

2 questions: 1. Why not use the common wire? 2. Why not mount the metal box cover to the box first, then the thermostat?

can i just leave zone valve head off and open up with that little handle so its getting hot water all the time when the other two zones call for heat?

Hi I got a question for you I have smoke coming out of the oil burner and I have oil leaking under de oil burner as well is that has to be with the oil pump or I will have to replace the entire oil burner.

TRULY , a fantastic explanation about a zone valve. Excellent.
