Honeywell and tower motorised vslves

[Chalked]

Needed to swap a Honeywell zone valve head today for a neighbour in need! I only had a"Tower" one. They are identical, even the valve body us the same casting.

i get the tower ones from Williams, they are cheaper by a good chunk. I wonder if they are the same thing?

maybe ray Stafford could shine some light.

Not the same, tower valves don't to seem to last long in my experience the heads fail

chinese copy i believe, customers given the choice this or this at this price or this, simple

Tower are the sh!test heads I have ever seen. Even worse than horstmann.

Last one I used was 18 months ago so might have improved.
