I need to fit a zone valve to some 54mm copper heating pipework, I also need to fit an auto bypass. Can anyone recommend a brand to use? Also the best place to buy for the cheapest price etc. I dont do a great deal of commercial work.
 
Where are you based?
For the three port , just use an Esbe valve. ( 2 inch) and use 2” BSP adaptors.

Based in South London. Yeah I've heard of Esbe valves before. Any suggestions for the auto bypass? Or I could potentially use a 3 port and use one side for zoning and the other for the bypass

you would need a diverter port valve as for bypass don’t normally fit them on commercial systems
 
Belimo or esbe for me
