Yes, you are correct.
This will close without power, it is closed when power is not present. Sent from my mobile device
I am using this valve for the same purpose. The valve opens when energized, valve will close when not energized and should fail closed Connected by DROID on Verizon Wireless
This is a diverting valve 2 ports will always be open.
When you turn off the power, it goes back to the original position. It can fail in three ways, one is the motor could fail so it would never open. Two is the spring could break so it never closes. Three is something gets jammed in the valve (calcium, rust, etc.) and it either doesn't open all the way or doesn't close all the way.
This valve is designed to flow the direction of the arrow normally (or as looking at it with the green unit at the top) flows from bottom to the right in the picture. It will stay that way until an applied 24V moves the "plunger" in the valve body to change the flow to straight (left to right in the picture) through.
Here are my two suggestions: 1) Add a bypass loop in the system that opens a valve that circulates right back to the boiler. This valve could be controlled by a multitude of sensors such as a flow sensor. Or you could add a couple electrical relays to the bypass valve that opens the valve when all other valves are closed and the pump is still running. This is probably the safest option because it was designed this way for a reason. It probably keeps circulating water to give the boiler time to shut down so the water doesn't have an opportunity to boil. 2) A cheaper option would be to cut power to the pump using a relay that's controlled by the thermostats. This wouldn't be my first option.
You should have a time-delay (off-delay) relay to keep the zone valve open for the additional time the motor is on. This will allow the pump to cool the boiler before the zone valve closes.
No.
It takes about 30 seconds for the zone valve to fully close. It shouldn’t be a problem.
Yes, there's arrows cast into the metal sides showing the flow direction. If it's installed backwards, it may not completely shut off the unselected pipe since it uses the pressure to help seal it.
Yes. This valve is designed for a specific flow direction.
Theoretically use but it will work in reverse Stephenne
I guess the short answer is yes. The directional indicators on this valve are a little deciving. In the "Off" position. No power to the valve water will flow in from the bottom of the valve to the outlet port with the arrow poiting out. It would also flow in the opsit direction if you wanted., Once power is sent to the valve the bottom port closes and water would travel in eaither direction through the two top ports. So no it is not direction dependant and yes it is. Depending on how you look at it. I hop this helped. Steve
When energized, the bottom port closes and the side port opens.
That is correct.
We would recommend the Taco 556-G2 zone valve, which is designed for use in open systems.
This is a 3-wire valve. The valve will open when power is applied to it.
Yes, the T822 thermostat will work in a system with this zone valve.
You need to use "U" bolts or pipe clamps with this valve.
