You can use original parts if they are serviceable, that's what I did.
I re-used the motor, the ball was worn out on the valve.If the motor works then re- use it.
The existing power head assembly can be reused.
Ray; In my case I was able to use the parts just fine as they were directly interchangeable. Hope that helps. Mario M.
Absolutly! I have changed out several of these, which were installed back in 1975. I cannot vouch for anything older than 35 years, but if it fits the on the plumbing, the top (zone valve, etc) should fit also.
Ray: The old motor can be used if it is in working order. I found out later that the recirculating pumps in my building were the problem generating noise & not the motor on the valve. Also had a hydraulic hammering that came from other units in the building & not my unit. Test the motor by cycling the thermostat up & down & watch & listen to how it sounds & watch how it works. The motor is a clock type & very quite. Hope this helps. Mike
Ray, yes the old motor can be reused.
Yes this is the body (without the motor, and switch), but includes the black valve, and the top of the valve, which is the mounting point for the motor and switch. In my case the valve was binding and the motor was unable to move it, took the old zone valve apart, took the new zone valve apart and took the guts out of the new body, put them in the old body and put the motor and switch back on, 20 minute fix, didn't have to solder anything. Good luck! Chris
I change these out all the time. Make sure the base groove for the o-ring is clean and you use a new o-ring. The valve/motor is intended to be rebuilt. dave lanning
Hi- I used a new motor but retained the old valve body the kit adapted the new motor to the old style valve body. However I had to file off a small alignment tab to get the new mount to seat/ seal on my old valve body. Otherwise an easy install - much easier than fully draining down the system to solder in a new valve. Sent from iPhone.
According to the manufacturer, the problems are created by oxygenated water. Honeywell does not want any added water in the system when it is placed in operation. They know from experience that the balls can and will absorb oxygen and it will harden and destroy the ball. In water conditions this is typical of an open system. All valves in the V8043 line are not for an open loop. In fact, none of their residential valves are designed for open loops. There is no issue with the shelf life of these. Problems arise when water is added to the ball and it is allowed to be in the water for long periods of time.
Open loop systems have lots of oxygen dissolved in the water and this attacks the material that the ball is made of and causes the breakdown you have experienced. They are not recommended for open loop systems. I am not familiar with the shelf life.
Yes, it should.
