Can you ID this valve, please.

[chris watkins]

Can any of you help ?, I have been sent this photo & I cant remember what make / model it is, it is being used as a diverter on communal heating system feeding cylinder primary's, (it might be a Drayton ??) & Do they use standard syc motors ??
Thanks in advance

Honeywell ?

Thanks, but the only one I know it is not is a H/well (head has to rounded corners & 3/4" cons)

I think Landys and Gyr did a metal cased valve and at least one other manufacturer which I can't remember.

I'm pretty sure that they all used the standard synchron motor though.

I think honeywell usually have a nipple on the top,it may be a tower

Is it an old acl valve (Drayton)?

Hi SimonG
would you know if standard synchron fits ?

 

[SimonG]

Struggling on that one Chris, I come across them in the old oil worcester heatslave combi's and when it goes it's a complete unit. Haven't been able to get the head off of one without busting it. If I had to go one way or the other I would say the std synchron wouldn't do it.

Can anyone confirm ? does this one (in the photo) use a standard sychrone &/or can I get a new power head ?? Help please.

I also think its the landis gyr model, so be careful if i remember right you can not replace the actuator in its own. Its like the early honeywells where you get very wet if you tried to replace the top! As a further note the honeywell actuators with the little bubble on top mean you can replace the actuator only. No bubble means thick red washer and you will get very wet

It's an ACl. A std synchron fits it but you can't change the head.
On their 2 ports, the wires are different colours too. Black and white instead of orange and grey.
