Honneywell zone valves

[erj]

Is it just me but I have had 4no 22mm Honeywell zone valves pack in on me lately all under 16 months old!

No it isnt you , they aint what they used to be

Just the motor or the whole head?

They are total tat. I said it a few times on this forum that the Honeywell zone valves are badly made inside and designed to fail. When you open a broken Honeywell valve and find it has a design fault, then they all will be the same. They start slipping inside and you hear a clicking noise. Bloody things are on unvented cylinders.

I had one fail on me last Friday. Valve came with the unvented cylinder, worked once and then wouldnt open again. It was 6pm by now and I just wanted to get home. I could have done without fitting a new motor and repairing a brand new valve!

the lever to the gear cog is now too thin so distorts too easily

Yeah defs made cheaper now a days... the cogs or its teeth can wear & then it jumps & makes all sort of noises!

It's getting to stage now where you just can't but anything good quality.
