  • This is how I find it easiest to change a 3 port valve.
    Bungs
    Rubble sack
    5 way connector (if required)

    Good tip using the rubble sack , I still think it’s a no brainier using a 5 way regin connector , it’s quicker , and makes your life easier to diagnose a fault later , and be caused you hadn’t taken a picture of the spaghetti wiring it would have only taken a couple of wires to come out during the pulling and manoeuvring of cables and you could be in a real mess . It will be interesting to see if you go for your method again. On the next job ! Good work man enjoying your vids 👍

      Fair comments mate, I do carry the 5-ways with me as well, sometimes it just depends on how I'm feeling on the day! Glad you're enjoying the vids 👍🏽

    B = Bath / A = All around the house :) the bung kit is intended for use if there is only 1 open end, if on a 3 port change, and if there is one, I turn off the gate valve on the dhw cylinder out side of the coil, and if its gate valve pump iso's, normally turn them off to, for added safety. reduces the glug glug :P. at least the wiring ctr was easy'ish to get to. another good vid.

      I would never trust winding an existing gate valve off ….never 🤪

    Hi bung controls the flow to the valve on the heating side.dp.ypu need to turn cold main off as well to.stop.flow on the hot water side and run the hot water off at the taps before removal of valve ?? Thanks for the video...

      ​@@cputilitysolutionsone more question if I may...if its a pressurised sytem I take it you need a full drain down of the heating before fitting valve ? Thanks

    .. sorry if I missed it, mate - but did you drain the system first and attend to the electrics at the same time..??!

    Hi, when my 3 port is on HW the flow from boiler is Hot then when I lower stat to switch to CH it will turn warm, sometimes cold even. Could the 3 port be slowing flow hense rads not keeping hot? I changed the cyl stat. I can see the port lever moving but not happy with the heat on ch pipe
