Faulty Reliance 2 port valve - Can I just switch the head?

Post by zeesaffa »

Hi all,

Our Reliance ZONE250310 2-port valve is faulty. I'm having to manually open it to get the boiler to fire up.

This is the 2nd Reliance valve that has broken in 2.5 years - so I'd like to switch it to a more 'reliant' one.

Online reviews indicate the Honeywell one is better - but I'm open to suggestions??

Can I just switch the head across with (for example) the Honeywell V4043H 1056 2-port valve? From what i've researched... I think I can. Just thought I'd check with a human on here first :-)

Thanks!

Can't go wrong with Honeywell zone valves and 5 year warranty too - https://mwphs.co.uk/product-category/he ... -valves-1/
