Honeywell 3 ports!!!

[gassafe]

What's the crack with Honeywell 3 port valves... I put two together and the whole in the centre of the valve is pretty much the same on both 28 & 22 valves!!! Seems like a scam to me... Why run 28 all the way if there just gonna throttle it down like that!

look into the bottom inlet.

that's where you don't want a restriction

And this is why 2 ports are the way forward.

i seriously wonder why they dont do two ports with unions. would make life so much easier

Because they couldn't be bothered to change the ball size inside no doubt!

Makes a easy swap from other makes so opens up larger market.

Would be even better if all control valves were fitted to pump valves so no draining to replace.

3 port 22 mm will pass 20KW
3 port 28 mm will pass 30KW

2 port 22mm will pass 23KW
2 port 28mm will pass 30 KW
